Help!  How can I coach if I've never played before?

Shake off those nerves and get ready to have fun and work up a sweat!  Your job as a coach is simple - you help kids have fun and enjoy playing soccer.  We will provide training, coaching manuals, and workshops; but you get to have an amazing impact on some child's life.  With a few soccer tools and lots of enthusiasm, you will be able to create an atmosphere where kids have fun, build fitness, strengthen character, and develop a passion for the game of soccer.  Thank you for dedicating your time and talent to building a better youth for tomorrow.
