The Coach truly believes there is now an American style of soccer coaching and playing that speaks for itself. Over time, this site will be updated to try to reflect this approach, the presentation of techniques for teaching, coaching, and administering youth soccer to adult soccer in the United States. The first product was a “ Soccer Coaching Manual for An Instructional Program – Applicable to Pre‑Kindergarten (Pre-K) through Under-7 (U7).”
This product is designed to provide an administrative structure for the program and all of the materials necessary for individual coaches and parents to conduct team instruction, including instructional youth soccer coaching drills and skills at the pre kindergarten to U7 level. THIS DOCUMENT HAS ALL THE KIDS’ YOUTH SOCCER FUN GAMES IN ONE PLACE!
Additional products now include a reference to the rules for soccer as contained in the seventeen “Laws of the Game” published by the organization responsible for the sport world-wide, FIFA; an Introduction to Goalkeeping; “General Rules of the Road;” “An American Soccer Players Creed;” Soccer Oral Communication; Soccer-Speedball; a sample “Introductory Soccer Skills Clinic” and many more – please see the contents to the right or point to the tabs above.
Future products are expected to include officiating, a dictionary, skills and drills for all age groups, stretching, strength and fitness conditioning, a constitution for the democratic operation of a soccer league, and many more. PLEASE COME BACK BEFORE EACH FALL AND SPRING SEASON FOR NEW MATERIAL!!!
(Notes: 1. Regarding gender equity, articles may refer to “he;” both “he” and “she” are implied. 2. All players are to be taught all skills. It is acknowledged that specialization occurs with time, but young players are not served properly by being type-cast. 3. Terms like “U-7″ (generally meaning “under seven years of age”) are used occasionally. This reflects a structure associated with age-appropriate competitions. Players learn at different rates! It is the coach’s responsibility to teach as much as possible as soon as it can be handled by the individual.)
