National D License Course Details:  The USSF National D License is a 40 to 45-hour course, held over two weekends, at minimum 4 weeks apart, designed for the grassroots coach who meets the prerequisites outlined below.  The focus of this course is to facilitate the improvement of the candidates in the Six Tasks of a Coach across all four game models (4v4, 7v7, 9v9, 11v11) with a particular emphasis on Coaching Training Sessions.  Candidates that register for this course are expected to attend both meetings.

Eligibility Requirements: A unique combination of three of the eight Grassroots Licenses now formally represent the prerequisite to progress to the U.S. Soccer D License.  Specifically, candidates must have completed a minimum of three grassroots courses, in the form of two in-person courses and one online course:
 • Two in-person courses (one of which must be the 11v11)
 • One online course across any of the four levels (4v4, 7v7, 9v9, 11v11)
