5 Years Youth Coaching Experience
The objective will be on creating a positive environment in which the players can continue to develop their individual technical skills with the ball, and a passion for the game. We will continue the ground work started in the club's YDP program in a more competitive atmosphere. We will focus on ball skills, passing and receiving, and transitioning from offense to defense. Training sessions will be our primary environment for coaching and directing players. Game day will be about preparation, observation, managing playing time, providing pointers to players on and off the field, and most of all catching them "doing good".
Commitment to this team is "one soccer" year, which spans from July
2010 - May 2011. Fall season starts in late July, and runs up
until Thanksgiving. December, January are generally down
months. Spring season will start in February and run through
mid-May. We will encourage the girls to participate in a few
other club sponsored and coordinated activities/sessions during the
year. These extra activities/sessions will be "very" player
centric. Meaning, the girls will play with minimum guidance from
a coach, and will be allowed to play purely for the sake of playing,
this fosters creativity and discovery on their own.
League Play/Tournaments:
We will be playing in the Brevard Youth Soccer League (BYSL). Approximately 5 games will be at Viera Regional Park, and 5 games will be spread across the county for both the Fall and Spring seasons. We would like to play two local tournaments (one in the Fall, and one in the Spring.
