Coaches
The youth coach is the most important teacher of the game in our country. More important than the MLS coach, more important than National Team coaches, and more important than top-level college coaches. It is the youth coach who helps young players develop an appetite for the game and also develop the correct technical and tactical habits. It is the youth coaches of today who are training the boys and girls who will become the coaches of the next generation.
The Upper Dublin Soccer Club is looking for positive, energetic volunteers to coach in our soccer program for ages Kindergarten through High School. No experience is necessary as various training courses and manuals are available through the club.
If you are interested in participating, please call 643-PLAY and leave a message.

US Soccer Federation guidelines for youth coaches (NPR Audio File)
About 3 million children play organized youth soccer in the United States. Their practices follow a predictable pattern: drills, more drills, then drills and a lecture. The U.S. Soccer Federation recently released new guidelines for youth soccer practice that tell coaches not to coach so much, not to dictate what positions young children play, and to allow children to play pick-up style games. Mike Woitalla, executive editor of Soccer America magazine, says it's the way that the best soccer players in the world got really good at the game.
