Rules for Coaches, Co-coaches and Assistant Coaches
Saturday, 09 February 2008 01:30
  • All Coaches will conduct themselves in a mature manner consistent with the leadership position they are privileged to hold.
  • Coaches will not allow any unsafe, dangerous, or unsportsmanlike behavior by anybody while on practice or game fields, and will actively teach safe techniques and methods of play.
  • Coaches are to develop the proper perspective of winning and losing in the minds of players, parents, and all spectators, and monitor / control the comments and actions of those who have temporarily lost this perspective.
  • Coaches should develop the child's appreciation of the game by allowing players to experience all positions if so desired. Conversely, no child should be forced to play in a position above their confidence level.
  • Coaches agree to follow all rules and policies set forth by the FTSC, state associations, and national associations.
  • Coaches should be a positive role model and allow the children to have fun through positive feedback and esteem-building at all levels of soccer skill competency.
  • Coaches are to ensure all players have soccer shoes and shin guards at all times. Any player that cannot afford these items should confidentially contact a Board Member and we will purchase this equipment if warranted.
  • Coaches will never use foul or abusive language.
  • Coaches will be responsible for garbage cleanup after their game. Any Coach taking a field with garbage already on it should report it immediately to the information desk.

Coaches' Training
Saturday, 09 February 2008 01:29
  • The Club feels that coach training is important. In fact, the Club will cover all costs associated with training registration for an "F" license and the Rutgers S.A.F.E.T.Y. Clinic. Training is available both on site and off.
  • From time to time the Club tries to host informal coaching clinics. Please watch the Club Calendar on the Home Page for other upcoming sessions.
  • The Rutgers S.A.F.E.T.Y. Clinic. is regualrly offered at localtions around Central New Jersey. It is strongly recommended for new coaches and any other coach who has not had this training. The course covers a lot of useful topics and also provides the coach some liability protection. More information is available on their web site (click here to visit). Please watch the Club Calendar on the Home Page
  • Coaches are not required to hold a license to coach in the Non-Traveling Division but a license is recommended. The club is affiliated with the New Jersey Youth Soccer Association which administers the licensing program. Coaches begin training with an "F" license and may progress all the way up to an "A" license. The Club hosts licensing classes from time to time but none are currently scheduled. The NJYSA web site has more information on the licensing program and class locations.
  • Coaches are also offered the opportunity to take an entry-level referee training class to familiarizes themselves with the Laws of the Game. To find more information on referee programs visit the New Jersey Youth Soccer Referee main page by clicking here. For information on class dates and registration procedure visit the main page of the New Jersey Referee Committee by clicking here. Please watch the Club Calendar on the Home Page for upcoming local sessions. (The training costs will not be reimbursed by the Club but licensed referees are eligible to earn payment (according to the referees scale) should they referee games for the Club)
