Dear SAY Coaches,

Welcome to the spring soccer season coaches! We are so very thankful for our volunteer coaches! Without you, youth soccer would not thrive in our local communities like it does today.

As we begin to prepare for the season we hope this newsletter helps jumpstart your season preparation. Continued learning, organization and preparation are some important factors in having a successful soccer season. Dig into the following resources in order to get the most out of your season.

Good luck coaches. Have a great spring season. Have fun!!

Our one stop resource guide will help both new and returning coaches prepare for the upcoming season. Guidelines to coach, coach code of ethics, safety policies and additional coaching resources can all be found here. 

Before you step on the field, make sure that you have familiarized yourself with your organization’s playing rules. We encourage you to share these with parents prior to the first match. Be prepared, knowledgeable and have a clear understanding of the laws of the game.
