Dear Volunteer Coaches,
The RYSC thanks each of you for providing a safe and healthy
environment for 450 - 600 recreational players this fall.
The are four things that detract from a fun soccer experience: lines,
laps, lectures and when a coach or parent looses their temper. Try to
avoid these four pitfalls at all costs.
LINES - Lines lead to boredom and misbehavior. Long
lines where one child takes a turn at a time prevent skill development.
Avoid any and all lines. We want players actively engaged at all times.
LAPS - If you have children complete laps, be sure to
have them take their ball with them to practice dribbling. They will get
in shape by running in the games and drills, laps are unnecessary and do
not build skill.
LECTURES - We realize mini-lectures are a part of life.
But, let's make them short and focused. Pull players together to
demonstrate a skill and then allow them to practice while the coaches
ensure correct execution.
LOOSING YOUR HEAD - Our goal is to have players learn
about the game of soccer while developing some skill. The score is not
important. I repeat the score is not important. The coaches and parents
should be a role model of sportmanship for their children. Keep things
in perspective! It's a recreational league, not the World Cup.
If you coaches try to stay away from these pitfalls, we are sure that
you, your team and the parents will have a fun and enjoyable soccer
season. Good Luck!

Note: Coaches after your first game, you will practice on the field
that your previous Saturday's game was played on.
