COACH
WITH TRSA
WHY COACH?
There are many reasons to become a coach:
-
A rewarding way to give back to the game and stay involved.
-
A way to keep yourself active and in shape.
-
An opportunity to lead and to teach important life skills such as organization, time management, work ethic, and people skills.
-
An opportunity to be a respected leader in our community through soccer.
-
An opportunity to progress to be a certified coach.
-
community stream coaching is a stepping stone on the path to a coaching license.
The bottom line: Our program is run by volunteers. Without coaches we don't have teams. You can help make the difference, provide a fantastic experience to our youth, and build strong community ties.
OUR COMMITMENT TO YOUR COACHING SUCCESS
-
TRSA is dedicated to supporting our coaches and providing them with knowledge and access to training to build confidence and enjoyment in coaching.
-
TRSA offers orientations and manuals to our coaches.
-
Our coaches receive support to attend training courses that are paid for by SWEMSA.
-
As the age level increases, completed training courses become mandatory, and are often transferrable outside of soccer.
THE COACHING PATHWAY
TRSA supports the Coaching Pathway, which is organized around the Long Term Player Development model as outlined by the Alberta Soccer Association and Canada Soccer.
The Coaching Pathway involves coach training workshops tailored to the age and development stage of the players a coach is working with (e.g., if coaching U11 players, a coach would attend the Learning to Train workshop).
Community Stream Coach Training Stages:
-
Active Start (U4-U5)
-
FUNdamentals (U7-U9)
-
Learning to Train (U11-U15)
-
Soccer for Life (U15-U19+)
