Canada Soccer has announced updates to the Advanced Coach Education Program pathway that reflect the requirements of the Concacaf Coaching Convention. The changes will see Canada Soccer align to the standards of this convention, building synergies across the whole of the continent, which are highlighted in the core coaching pathway. The Concacaf Coaching Convention is the agreement between Concacaf and its Member Associations which serves as a regulatory framework intended to standardize and raise the quality of coach education programs across the Concacaf region and its Member Associations. Once Canada Soccer is an approved member of the Concacaf Coaching Convention, any coach who possesses licensing obtained in Canada will be internationally recognized by any Concacaf Member Association.

Coach Warren has been coaching my son for many years now. He has been very instrumental in my son's soccer development both in the technical and mental aspects of the game. My son progressed from being shy, reserved, 'I-am-nervous-to-touch-the-ball-cause-I-might-mess-up' to a confident 'I-am-going-after-that-ball' player. The changes have all been positive. Coach Warren has the gift of easily building a rapport with the team but also recognizes each player's individuality. I have a high level of comfort knowing my son is with Coach Warren especially during ages when children are very impressionable.
Warren is a deeply dedicated and passionate coach to our son. His love of soccer is obvious, and he is passing that love down to the boys he coaches. His knowledge of the game is immeasurable, and he is always devising strategies to challenge the boys and expand their understanding of the game, as well as their roles when they're on the field. Our son's confidence has increased immensely, and we have seen such a positive improvement in his vision of the game. We attribute all of this to Warren's tutelage, and we are extremely grateful to him for his ongoing commitment to the players and his inclusive communication with the parents.
Well-versed in the foundation and rules of the game. Committed to player development and dynamic lesson plans. Effective communicator and motivator.
