Coaching Guidelines
Chico Youth Soccer League feels that coaching emphasis should be placed on positive player image, good attitude and good sportsmanship. As the child progresses into the older divisions, more emphasis is placed on knowledge of the game and soccer skills. The league provides a coaches clinic prior to the beginning of each season to assist coaches in coaching techniques.
Coaches are not allowed to recruit players or hire trainers for their teams. All players must be invited to attend all practices by the team and players must play a minimum of half of each game no matter if practice was attended or not.
If coaches cannot abide by the rules of CYSL they will not be asked to return.
