Micro Soccer is a great
place to begin coaching youth sports. Our simplified rules and low
player to coach ratio makes it easier to learn the basics of coaching
soccer. Many of our coaches start out with little soccer experience, but
they have a great rapport with kids, the ability to lead, a sense of
humor, and lots of patience.
As a coach, you will need
to commit some extra time to learn your role. You should attend the 3
hour Coaching Clinic a couple of weeks before the season begins. At the
clinic, we will show you everything you need to know to get your season
off to a great start. Plan to take some extra time to review the Micro
Soccer Coaching book and the handouts that you receive at the clinic.
Once the season begins, you will need to plan one practice on one
weekday and one game on Sunday afternoon. We pair all of our coaches
with a practice team coach; this means that you will have your own team,
but you will plan your practice and share a practice field with another
team and coach. We make every attempt to pair new coaches with
experienced coaches to provide a mentoring situation.
If you are interested in
coaching, please fill out the brief coaching information on your
player’s registration form. If you have more than one child, please
indicate which of your children you would prefer to coach. Please
indicate your preferred practice days as well, we make every attempt to
accommodate the requests of our coaches. We’ll see you on the fields!
