Your responsibilities as a coach are not limited to directing players on the field to become an efficient unit. There are many more aspects of acting as a coach:

• Provide a safe physical environment
• Communicate in a positive way
• Teach the fundamental skills of soccer
• Teach the rules of soccer
• Direct players in competition
• Help your players become fit and value fitness for a lifetime
• Help young people develop character

A good coach also serves as a positive role model and helps players learn to think for themselves and build confidence. We aren't developing good players; we are developing good people who enjoy a great game.
