Coaches

The Sandwich Soccer Club will hold its mandatory
2008 Spring Meeting on March 26th, 2008 at
Oak Ridge School Cafeteria.

All head coaches and Age Group Directors should plan to attend. Assistant coaches and team managers should also be there. If the head coach cannot make it please make sure your assistant coach or team manager is there.

At this meeting you will receive your team roster, player and coach pass cards, and the SCSL 2008 Handbook. We will review any rule changes, proper game day procedure and coach conduct, score reporting procedures, game cancellation and rescheduling procedures and all other information you will need for a successful season.

Coach's responsibilities include:

Obtain your G and F licenses if you do not already have them (SSC pays for it);
Complete the Massachusetts Youth Soccer Association's CORI form;
Copy SSC's Registrar on the response that Mass Youth Soccer emails back to the coaches to confirm that they received your completed CORI form.
Complete the registration process in order to get a coach card;
Be familiar with the SSC web site and registration process so as to direct parents to the site as needed;
Run 1-2 practices a week during the Spring season;
Participate in Winter indoor practice sessions (Wing School Gym) as space and scheduling permit;
Select a Team Manager who will help you with administrative tasks and be responsible for coordinating parent volunteers for the SSC. (There will be a person whose job will be to coordinate all the Team Managers. We want you to focus on coaching, not on administrative tasks.);
Attend the annual mandatory SSC meeting;
Report all game scores in a timely fashion (this requirement will be explained during the mandatory coaches meeting);
Help with SSC's annual Cape Cod Challenge Cup on Memorial Day Weekend;
Be a sportsmanship role model to children and parents;
Promote a positive image of the SSC in the community.
