On February 9th-11th, 2018 WAGS hosted the “1st All Female D License Course Weekend” in the United States. 17 women collaborated and learned the new US Soccer D license curriculum led by Instructors Karen Kelser and Nora Maguire-White from VYSA, all sponsored by WAGS. This groundbreaking course was empowering for these coaches and all those that will follow in their footsteps.
On August 17th-19th, 2018. WAGS hosted the Part 2 of the “1st All Female D License Course”. We had 11 of our group return to finish their process towards full D License, with Karen and Nora as our instructors. The candidate’s who were not able to be with us were invited to join Nora Maguire-White in December.
We are thrilled to help women and girls reach their goals through soccer
