Helpful Tips for Coaches ►►

Once Your Team Has Been Established...

 

STEP 1: Contact your players as soon as possible to make them aware of your first practice & game location, date, and time.

 

STEP 2: Schedule a team meeting during the first practice with all parents and players (see below for details).

 

What to Discuss at the Team Meeting:

  • Introductions 

  • Your goals as coach for the season

  • Establishment of any assistant coaches needed

  • Establish a designated team "Mom" or "Dad" to organize events such as uniform distribution, banquet organization, and a calling tree in case of schedule changes. (Recommendation: Use a group e-mail list to communicate information to team members between practices)

  • Discuss practice and game time guidelines (Arrive at practice at least 5 minutes prior to start, be ready to pick up child before the end of practice, arrive at game 15 minutes prior to game time).

  • Never leave the field until you have personally seen each of your players with their parent or guardian.

Other Tips:

Have a practice Plan

Get a whistle

End promptly

Have players help clean up after practice
