Roles and Responsibilities Coaches & Trainers

A coach is a volunteer, often a parent, who is responsible for the team. They have a significant role in setting standards for the team, leading players, coaching within games, and training sessions. Coaches should work closely with the assigned professional trainers to develop and execute a plan for the team. Ideally, we want two volunteer coaches per team, co-equal or with an Assistant Coach. Volunteer coaches should not be relegated to only handling administrative tasks. Our trainers can help coaches learn the game and lead their team to success.

On the other hand, a trainer is a paid professional assigned to every team (if requested by the coach) to teach players and volunteer coaches both foundational and advanced game skills and strategy. Ideally, our trainers will help empower players and coaches to succeed by providing objective feedback that benefits specific player development and the team's overall success. Trainers should work closely with coaches to ensure individual player and team objectives are defined and achieved.We believe that both coaches and trainers are essential to the success of our soccer program. By working together, we can help our young players develop their skills and love for the game.
