My 17 yr old son/MLS Next player is interested in getting certified but we can't find any courses in/around NOLA that work with his schedule. I thought I'd heard at one point that you could do most of the class online but I'm not seeing that offered anywhere. Was that a COVID thing and no longer available? Thanks

Yes most of the coursework is online, with a 4 hour in person clinic. Website is learning.ussoccer.com

If there’s enough interest I would be open to putting on another course in that area, or another instructor/mentor may create one

My son and his friend (both in NOLA) found it and are doing the coursework now, said there's an in-person in Mandeville on 8/21.
