Helpful tips for Coaches

Laws of the Game by FIFA.

These are here for your reference.

REMINDER: FWSC has special adaptations for different Age Groups. The Laws of the Game are our basis for play, but the FWSC adaptations found within each Age Group Page take precedent in our Recreation League.

There are many great resources that can be found on the internet! Some coaches go to Google or YouTube and search key terms like: soccer drills for U8, defensive soccer drills for U12, soccer shooting drills for U10 or training lessons for rec soccer. These are all great ways to see what is being taught to players in the ages you are coaching. I would also encourage you to look at drills for the next age level as well. The great thing about most of the drills you find is that you have the ability to tweak them as you need to. Proper planning for your practice session is the key to a fun and productive practice!

Here are a number of different sites that currently have coaches lessons available to use. Please feel free to search around and use what you can. If you find something else out there on the web that you think would benefit other coaches in our league, please share them with us by emailing the webmaster.

Coaches Clinic

Our Coaches Clinics are designed to provide tips and tools for all of our coaches. Our league is run on volunteers and it's our goal to give them the support they need! Along with the links below, the coaches clinics are a great way to gain practical experience and gain confidence in coaching. Check back here to see when our next coaches clinic will be held. We try to do a couple a year.
