Thank you for volunteering to coach at Irish Soccer Club! This page is a resource to help make your coaching experience productive and rewarding.
First and foremost, it is important to recognize that a coaching philosophy is a meaningful way to connect your values to your actions as a coach. Spending some time to reflect on what you are motivated by or focused on building provides a framework to communicate with players and parents and guide decisions. Once you have a goal, the rest falls more easily into place.
Included are resources to help with training & development, administration, game management, and sideline management.
If you have feedback to improve how we can support you please reach out to the board and share. Again, thank you for volunteering; we appreciate you and we're here to support you!
