Easton Youth Soccer believes that “the game is the greatest teacher” and that children will get better at soccer by playing, playing and more playing. We also believe that well-trained, resourceful coaches will enhance a child's enjoyment of this beautiful sport. To that end we encourage all of our coaches to attend and particpate in well designed coaching courses, each lead to a certificate or license that emphasizes proper coaching principles, provided by the Massachusetts Youth Soccer and US Soccer. We encourage you to take advantage of these courses.
Although there are no performance or written tests in the G, F or E courses, each involves several hours of activity. To get the most out of each course, participation in the practical, active sessions is strongly encouraged, but is not required. This activity is not physically rigorous, and lasts approximately one half of each course. Please note, attendants must be 16 years of age in order to attend courses, and receive license certification. More details and schedule can be found on the Mass Youth Soccer website: http://www.mayouthsoccer.org/pages/188_calendar.cfm
We will learn a great deal from each other on and off the field - please do not be afraid to help one and other out. The game is a way to meet new freinds and reach out to coaches in need. Easton Youth Soccer has also implemented its own ideas and curriculum guidelines. Please take advantage of these resources in addition to the guidance of the state association.
