The U5 Master Coach prepares and implements the lesson plan for each U5 session. The U5 Program Manager handles most of the administration of the U5 program along with the U5 Division Coordinator.

The U5 Master Coach should be intimately familiar with AYSO's U5 Jamboree, U5 Master Coach manual, and U6 Coach manuals so that the standard U5 curriculum is properly covered.

The Master Coach should be a certified Intermediate Coach, Coach Instructor, Advanced Coach, Advanced Coach Instructor, or professional UK Coach.
