The National "D" License is a 36-hour course designed for the experienced coach who has already received training at the "E" level.  The focus of this course is to improve individual's and team's ability.  The ‘D’ License takes place over two weekends.  The first weekend is instruction.  The second weekend, which takes place a minimum of two months after the first weekend, is used to evaluate each candidate.  The gap in between the two weekends gives the candidates time to practice and evaluate what they learned in the first weekend.  Each ‘D’ License candidate will be assigned an OYSA staff instructor to mentor them through the course.
