Coaching


Question by no:

Coaching???





the kids are well known throughout the community as soccer players and both had outstanding high school careers. the town is also a small "redneck" town with usual coaches who do not know much

would it make sense to have someone in charge who knows the game compared to a parent who knows nothing about the game. would it be better to teach the kids the game opposed to having parents let them kick the ball and chase after it however my question comes in from is it a good idea to
should 18-19 year olds coach u15?

Well i'm from England and i now live in Canada. I played competitive football(soccer) for many years. I'm 53 now and still play recreational football, i am also an insructor at a football(soccer) academy in the summer. I find that when people (parents) who know nothing about the game, coach a team, they tent to give the players bad habits. Last year i was asked to help coach a high school team. People (parents) were telling me how good this player was and how good that player was. Believe me my friend there were only one or two players that even knew the basics about the game. I'd say "get the best coaches that you can" but if you live in a redneck town, good luck with your search. All the best mate, and enjoy the greatest game on earth.
