Coaches, thank you so much for your service and your contribution to both our soccer association and to the community at large. As a soccer coach here at SSA, we value your time and energy and hope we can help carry that commitment with you. This page is designed with intention to serve your needs as a coach and help foster your growth and the growth of your players. 

Coaches have two functions on our fields. First and foremost, coaches are role-models and symbols of authority for our children. Coaches should help encourage our children to be the best versions of themselves and to provide a fun activity of teamwork and sportsmanship to our players. Winning and losing should not have any bearing on our endeavor to raise and encourage all of the children who play on our fields. 

Secondly, coaches should attempt to help teach our children how to play soccer. Tactics, techniques, fitness, etc. are all incorporated into producing soccer players. Yes, this is a recreational league, but our aim is to help produce soccer players who love the game…. As you are here to help support your players, we are here to help support you! On these pages we hope to provide additional support, information, and structure that can help you be a functional and successful coach (which in turn helps your players and parents have a better experience too). 

​

As thoughts, concerns, and needs arise, please don't hesitate to reach out to your commissioner for assistance. We want to support you however we can. You can begin by downloading our Coaches Welcome Packet below with all the information and instructions you need to get started as a Coach with SSA.
