POLICY & PROCEDURE MANUAL
To have adequate practice space for the entire club (30 teams x 3 practices a week) you would need to have 8 soccer fields. Two teams would split a field allowing 16 teams to train at once. You would be able to accommodate an additional 16 teams the second session. The additional two days would then be used for goalkeeper training and running mechanics. Allows for additional growth in teams. To have a U10 program in conjunction with park & recreation department Increase the clubs identity Establish corporate sponsorship Club loyalty and unity Effective training sessions
AGE GROUP PHILOSOPHY As a collegiate Division I soccer coach, who sees the highest level of soccer each and everyday, I have an understanding of what the finished product should look like. I understand the infrastructure that needs to be in place in order for players to be successful. I understand the process is in itself a process that takes much time and commitment. A club needs to foster the development of its players by having multiple teams within each age group. A red and a blue team need to be formed in each age group and when necessary a white team. By having multiple teams per age group you are providing greater opportunities for those players who presently are physically immature but technically gifted. Due to your limited player pool size its important to protect and encourage the player whom is developing at a slower rate. It is important to develop all potential talent, giving players the opportunity to develop at their own rate. Research has provided further evidence that physical growth does not maintain pace with chronological growth. Therefore many players of equal talent are overlooked due to physical maturity. We must be sensitive to this fact in the selection process. U11-U12 Heading-to score and to clear Passing- inside the foot, outside the foot, instep, heel Receiving-inside the foot, outside the foot, instep Finishing- instep, inside the foot Tackling Dribbling-Wiel Coerver, Speed Dribbling, Cutting Juggling A club needs to allow players the opportunity to experience various positions. The most athletic players need to play in goal, as it can be a demoralizing experience for a young player. Players need to understand leadership roles and the importance of leading as well as learning how to follow within the team. It is important to establish a high behavioral standard for players and teams while keeping it fun and competitive. Tactically, the most critical element is teaching the players how to attack and create goal-scoring opportunities through high pressure. This is only possible through learning accountability in a man to man scheme. U13-U14 In addition, players should be learning: How to break down opponents in the final 1/3rds through pattern play. Understanding of defensive schemes Compactness and shape Transition through the 1/3rds defensively Running mechanics (pure speed, mobility, endurance, explosive, durability) Set pieces Ability to strike balls over greater distances Players who become students of the game Players of great character (humorous, energetic, passionate) The most important aspect for any training session is the feedback given to players and their parents. This is especially important with the younger players as they progress. By documenting their progress, there is little room for argument as to where the improvement needs to be made. If improvements are not made then the process takes care of itself and justification can be made for promotion and relegation with the Red, Blue or White teams. Thus the player's technical report will serve in cutting down on the problems associated with tryouts. Each player will know where he or she stands prior to the event.
SPONSORSHIP
There needs to be a high end camp offered. A mandatory camp with the 10-14 year olds from 9-12 in the morning and a high school preparatory camp from 5-8 in the evening. Money raised could be used to cover the cost of the consultant, gifts, coaches.
The club needs to bring teams from all over the country. Set a date and have it that same date each and every year. A tournament committee needs to be formed. Develop an attractive brochure. Target the U11-U14 age groups due to a lacking tournament site. Quality vs. Quantity Make sure the tournament is a sanctioned event. Find hotel, restaurants for sponsorship. Due cost analyses break down. Reserve hotel rooms. Put on web site. Build database.
Board meetings need to be organized, run efficiently and any topic that gets bogged down, needs to be tabled for a future board vote. Each board member needs to receive the agenda 2 days prior to the official board meeting. This will give each board member time to look over the upcoming agenda as well as review the minutes from last month. This will allow the minutes to be voted on quickly and all board members will be aware of the current agenda items. Board members need to have an update regarding their specific board position or committee that is e-mailed or handed to the secretary prior to each board meeting. This report is then e-mailed to all board members the following month with the upcoming agenda. If a board member needs to have action taken regarding any issue at a board meeting, then the issue needs to be on the upcoming agenda. One cannot expect action to be taken or heard during a board meeting that has not been listed on the agenda. No surprises!
