Here at Swift Current Soccer Association we are pleased you have volunteered and agreed to coach a youth team. Some of you, we are sure, just can’t wait to start. However, for most of you this is probably your first encounter with soccer coaching and you are understandably very apprehensive about the season ahead.
   Coaching young children is a challenge in patience and understanding and in creating an atmosphere on the practice field, which is conducive to learning.
   As a youth coach there is a danger that you may be more interested in teaching what you know than the children are in learning what you have to offer. 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.
   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.
   Please do not hesitate to contact any of the Board members any time you need advice or help.

   * Enjoy the season and good luck in your coaching endeavors. *
