I will be sharing information that will be of interest to coaches. Please feel free to ask questions and let me know some of your needs that I might be of assistance to you.


WEEKLY SOCCER CAMP FOR PLAYERS AND COACHES
One of the best ways to learn as a coach is to go to camp! Take you kid to camp and sit and watch. TSA is offering a weekly camp on Monday nights and there is coach training included.  See more about the camp


UNDERSTANDING OFFSIDES
You have to understand offsides before you can coach your players! Watch this animation will make you an expert on the offside rule. In TSA offsides is not called until U9 6v6 field.


UNDERSTANDING THE POINT SYSTEM IN STANDINGS
In the U9 age group and above the score of games are kept as well as standings. 
  • Basic Point System: 3pts for a win, 1 for tie, 0 for loss
  • TieBreak System: 6pts for win, 3 for tie 0 for loss. Then 1 pt for each goal scored up to three goals. 1 pt for a shutout. So if a team wins 3-0, the receive 10 tie-break pts. 
COACHING RESOURCES
Great coaching video's for $3.99, check these out!


I have dvd's and books if you are interested in learning more about coaching. I started out not knowing one thing about soccer nine years ago when I started coaching my daughters team. I started reading books, watching videos, and watching pro-soccer to learn as much as I can.
