TSA would like to thank you for your time and energy to developing Terrell's youths in the game of soccer we are pleased you have volunteered and agreed to coach a youth team.

 Coaching young children is a challenge in patience and understanding and in creating an atmosphere on the practice field, which is conducive to learning. Young children (U6-U8) are really more concerned about having fun and being in a happy environment than they are in learning how to become good soccer players.

One of the first steps to coaching is to attend the mandatory G Clinic which is normally held in Terrell at the beginning of every season.  However if you miss it you can visit North Texas Soccer website and find the next closest class available.

After completing a ‘G’ introductory course and coaching for a season or more, you may discover the joy of helping young children and decide to continue in this role. If this is the case, give a thought to your own growth and development as a coach. Since you obviously care about your players and want a good experience for them, you need to allocate time and effort towards your own development as a coach.

Enroll in coaching courses and attend as many clinics as possible. Watch the highest level of soccer available in your area and on TV. Read coaching books, study videos. All these activities will help add to your soccer knowledge and effectiveness as a coach.

Enjoy the season and good luck in your coaching endeavors!

Coaches at the beginning of the season a coaches manual was given to you to keep your team information and guidelines organized.
