The SYSA
depends upon parents to volunteer as coaches. Unfortunately, volunteer
coaches are often in short supply. If you think you might be interested, we
encourage you to start coaching at the U6, U7 or U8 level, when practices
consist of fun games (Farmers & Rabbits, Sharks & Minnows,
etc.).
Please don't be
reluctant to volunteer, even if you're not athletic and know nothing about
soccer. Many of our most successful coaches never played soccer and are
learning the sport along with their children!
Of course,
because most of our volunteer coaches are not professional educators or
soccer players, occasionally some parents feel their children are not
receiving the best soccer instruction. If you find yourself in this
situation, we suggest you pick up a book on soccer, come to a coaches'
clinic, and volunteer your services. We can always use assistant coaches,
and you will quickly discover the joy of watching the children improve their
skills under your guidance.
Preference for
coaching will be given to those who have completed or are taking licensing
courses. You can contact the SYSA Administrator for more information about
licensing courses.
Keep in mind
that SYSA engages the services of Major League Soccer (MLS) Camps to provide
substantial professional soccer support services for players and coaches of
all SYSA teams, both In-Town and Travel teams.
