We are always looking to add to our roster of coaches, at all levels of experience and licensing. If you (or someone you know) is interested in making a difference in a young soccer player's life, then complete a Coach Registration form and mail to the address indicated on the form. Tournament Possibilities Coaches looking for tournaments this spring and summer should keep looking for updates at the following website.

Team sponsors make up the difference. Please be sure to read the letter to all coaches detailing your responsibilities in obtaining a sponsor for your team. Inclement Weather: Unless you have official word of game cancellations due to weather, instruct your team to report to the field. As you know, the weather changes quickly in this area. We will not play games when lightning is in the area or if the weather makes the fields unsafe. The referee will make this decision after consultation with the coaches. If the President determines that the weather is severe enough to cancel games, this information will be phoned in to the local FM Eagle94. Risk Management Update To help insure the safety and well-being of our children, all coaches, assistant coaches, and parent volunteers are required to fulfill a background check through The R.C.M.P. It's not too late. The clearance is good for one year and it's required by the Saskatchewan Soccer Association. It's easy. Forms and more information available at the R.C.M.P. Office. It Can't Be Stressed Too Often One of a coach's first responsibilities is to make sure of safe play and know the Indoor Rules of Play indoor rules of soccer. and also the Outdoor Rules of Play outdoor rules of soccer . Just as importantly, respect the referee -- no matter how old -- must be shown at all times. Always show encouragement and never resentment. Youth soccer participants are always in the learning stages, including coaches. It is game that never tires for learning opportunities! Zero Tolerance of Verbal Abuse Our club is committed to a policy of zero tolerance of verbal abuse. Please contact one of our board members if you have witnessed:
Rosters and Referees Prior to each game, referees are to receive your roster with signature. If a roster is not made available, they are instructed to not allow game to be played. Make sure you have all of your paperwork with you at each game and practice. Make sure you are in club colors when playing out- of- club. When playing another team, the designated home team surrenders their jerseys in favor of white t-shirts, or other jersey color if authorized. That is the only time to remove club colors. ***************************** Coaching Handbooks |
