Coach Exchange Program

This program is for international coaches from high school to college level to learn about and experience sports in the U.S. Through observation and personal interaction with American coaches, players, sports organizers, and administrators, international coaches have daily activities with American counterparts. These activities include coaching, training/practicing, classes, competitions and administrative meetings in American high schools and colleges.

International coaches are placed with American host families that are carefully selected by ACES. Host families come from different socioeconomic backgrounds and live in urban and rural areas. All have the desire to invite an international coach to become a member of their family for the duration of the program.

In addition, international coaches also have opportunities to interact with local sports clubs and organizations to learn about sports in the U.S. in general. Exact program activities and location are determined according to the international coach’s sport, interests, and availability.

Team Training and Competition

The Team Training & Competition program provides a unique opportunity for sports teams around the world to train and compete with their U.S. counterparts. The program helps sports teams in the U.S. and other countries expand their understanding and experience.
