Friday evening Sept. 11, F    6-9 p.m.classroom, Saturday Sept 12, 8-4, field.   Provides more indepth soccer coaching information, skills and drills training.

 

 

Coaches needed! 

Soon, it'll be that time again to pull out the kids' soccer cleats, shin guards and water bottles, and head out to the nearest field of freshly mowed grass to watch them play the game they have fallen in love with or experience soccer for the very first time.

To ensure all young athletes have plenty of playing and learning time, coaches must be in place in advance of team formation. Even if you have never coached soccer or played soccer, you can still be a soccer coach (take it from a mom who STILL doesn't know what “off-sides” is :). EPYSL has an excellent training session taught by experienced coaches who are ready to help you organize practices and understand the rules of the game.

Please consider becoming a coach this year and enjoy the extra time you'll get to spend with your child and his/her friends. It's a rewarding experience to have a positive affect on a young athlete, especially your own.

Indicate your interest on your child's registration form, online, or contact me if you would like to be one of this year's “elite” EPYSL soccer coaches.

Thank you,

Jessica Johnson

About Our Coaches

EPYSL coaches are parent volunteers.  Without parent support we would not be able to play.  Coaching can be a fun and rewarding experience you will remember for a lifetime. 

Coaching clinics and peer support is available to help new coaches prepare for the coming season.  Also, please browse the links above for helpful information.
Goals For Coaches

• Treat your players and opponents with respect
• Inspire a love for the game and the desire to compete fairly
• Be the type of person you want your players to be
• Discipline those players on the team who display un-sportsmanlike behavior
• Respect the judgement and interpretation of the rules by the officials
• Realize you are a teacher and understand that the soccer field is a classroom
• Be more concerned in the well-being of your players than in your win-loss record
• Be reasonable in your demands on your players time, energy and enthusiasm – they need other interests too.
• Children play for fun and enjoyment, and winning is only part of this. Never ridicule or shout at the children for making mistakes or losing a competition.
• Make a personal commitment to keep yourself informed on sound coaching principles and the principles of children’s growth and development. (The CYSA Coaching School Program is designed to help you in this area)
• The length of practices and competitions should take into consideration the maturity of the children.
• Avoid over-playing the talented players. The “just-average” players need and deserve equal time. Be sensitive to the less talented, they have potential.
• Ensure that equipment and facilities meet safety standards and are appropriate to the age and ability of your players.
• Follow the advice of a medically-qualified person when deciding when an injured player is ready to play again.
• Teach your players that the rules of the game are mutual agreements which no one should break.
• Develop respect for the ability of opponents, as well as for the judgement of officials and opposing coaches.
• Don’t publicly question any official’s decisions and never doubt their honesty.
