Coaching tips
- Seek training from Oklahoma Soccer Association or look for additional information in our Coaches Resources.
- Establish contact with all parents as soon as possible with your contact information, practice times and locations, equipment needs for each player (cleats, shin guards, ball, and water jug), Coach may elect to hold parents meeting before first practice or at first practice to include coaching philosophy, expectations of parents and players (transportation, communication, sportsmanship, etc.), double check medical release forms, and go over uniforms and schedule.
- Assign a team manager or administrator to handle and schedule snacks, drinks, cancellations or changes to practices or game schedules.
- Assign an assistant coach to limit or reduce distractions and confusion. Selection should be made with prior knowledge of their coaching philosophy and agenda. Must pass background check with BSC, please contact Teresa Fox our registrar.
- Equipment needed will be some cones, a few extra balls, air pump, and bibs.
- REMEMBER THAT ACCEPTING A COACHING POSITION MEANS ACCEPTING RESPONSIBLITIES.
