Coaching Guide

Coaching can be a very fulfilling experience. Not everyone is cut out to be a coach but most people have some sort of leadership ability and can learn the sport they coach in due time. That's one great feature of the game of soccer. You don't have to know the sport to coach it. Learning the rules and teaching them to the players is not that difficult. You do not need a soccer background to become a great soccer coach.

Our club is always looking for coaches, especially at the instructional ages (4-8 years old). We offer lifetime benefits such as great smiles, many thank-you's, new friends, light exercise, training, free T-shirts, and best of all lots of memories. If you are interested in becomming a soccer coach, you found a great club to do so. Now all you have to do is sign up to volunteer at one of our registrations. Leave the rest to us.

The following items will help you become familiar with teaching the sport of soccer and coaching in general. There are many resources available to you on the Internet, book stores, and video tapes that can show you proper teaching methods and tools. We've done some of the research for you.
