COACHING – the act of doing it. Yes, we want to improve the coaching a person is doing; but more importantly, we want to impact the person. THE COACH

The OYSA offers free 1-2 hour clinics, usually conducted during the pre-season (August & March). Clinics must be arranged with the OYSA in advance and interested coaches need to pre-register for these events. Most often designed for a specific age group.
OYSA Clinics
Informal Coach Development Events
Planned and scheduled by the local soccer organization. Usually conducted by the club’s Director of Coaching or guest clinician. Designed to meet the identified needs of the coaches in that club.
Club Hosted Clinics
Gathering of some or all of the coaches within a club. Informal or formal; designed to address a specific objective; or to communicate needed information to all members of the club’s coaching staff.
Coach Meetings
Practice session for a club’s team, usually conducted by the club head coach or senior coach, and promoted to other coaches within the club. Typically designed to showcase a specific style or system of play to be implemented throughout the club.
Club Promoted Practice Sessions
Communications to the club coaching staff, usually sent by the Club Coaching Director or President. Useful in keeping the coaches up to date on club procedures, policies or relevant coaching information & best practices.
Coach Emails / Newsletters

The club can assign a ‘senior’ coach to help with the development of a ‘junior’ coach. The mentor can observe practice sessions and games to provide valuable advice and oversight to the less-experienced coach.This mentor can also provide a formal coach evaluation, which the club can use to help develop the coach – and use for future coaching staff assignments.
Coach Mentoring
Informal Coach Development Events
Within the club, assign an older team to one of the younger teams. Serving as the Brother / Sister team and appearing at practices, support the other team during games and allowing the older team to provide some coaching support to the players on the younger team is a wonderful way to create club identity, provide role models for the younger group, foster leadership skills in the older group – and provide assistance to the coach of the younger team.
Brother / Sister Teams
Other good ideas for Coach Development within a club.
By identifying players on HS age teams, providing them with some training or guidance, and assigning them to serve as assistant coaches or other roles within the club; future generations of coaches, referees, tournament directors, and leaders are developed.
