Guidelines

Coaching Guidelines 

1. Set a positive example

​

As a coach, you are a role model for the players. Make sure to demonstrate positive behavior on and off the field, such as good sportsmanship and respect for others. Should there be a challenge presented by a parent, immediately seek our support! 

​

2. Keep it fun

​

Players are more likely to enjoy Footy and continue playing if they are having fun. Create an atmosphere of enjoyment and positivity during practices and games.

​

3. Emphasize sportsmanship

​

Encourage players to respect their opponents and referees, and to play fairly. Teach them that winning is not the only important thing, and that good sportsmanship is a crucial part of the game.

​

4. Be Prepared

​

Keep up to date with us on the latest coaching changes and updates to the program. If you are not a soccer expert, don't hesitate to seek out support from other coaches or the program. Its not a complicated sport!  

​

Remember, as a coach, you have the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of our young players.
