“A good coach can change a game; a great coach can change a life”
We aim to support new and old coaches. Check out our Coaches Guide (Google Doc -in Development) with Links to Age appropriate soccer drills and practice itineraries. There are some in the google doc, but many more in the links. We will likely add more to this website soon and create a “Coaches Corner” to share notes. The goal is not to win all your games, but to balance out your age group and skill level and take each player up one notch to get better each day and week.
We will be hosting a coaching clinic at the end of August, and provide all the forms
