Coach Licensing
We encourage all of our Class 4 (recreational) coaches to obtain at least an F level coaching license. The licensing clinics are valuable regardless of your level of experience, and they get even better as you move to the E and higher levels. At the Class 3 (Metro) level, you must have an E license to be a head coach and an F license to be an assistant coach. Be sure to plan ahead if you're thinking about going Metro next year, because you have to wait six months after taking the F clinic to take the E clinic. For a schedule and registration information for upcoming coaching clinics offered within our league, visit www.sysl.com.
For a schedule of clinics offered throughout the region, visit www.d6soccer.org
 
Coaching Announcements
Coaching announcements are e-mailed periodically. This is our primary way of communicating with our coaches about upcoming meetings, important dates, etc., so please make sure your e-mail account isn't sending e-mail from landparksoccer@sbcglobal.net to your spam folder. If you're signed up to coach this season and haven't been receiving these announcements, please let us know and we'll be sure to add you to the list. 

Coaching Resources

2010 Land Park Coaching Manual

Land Park Soccer maintains a library of coaching books and DVDs that are available to all of our coaches. These are a great resource for designing age-appropriate practices. If you would like to borrow something from the library, please e-mail our coaching coordinator,
Adam Ostrander, to make arrangements. To borrow a book or DVD, you will need to leave a check for the replacement cost of the item, but your check will be returned as long as you return the item.

Below are links to coaching websites where you can find age-appropriate games and even complete practice sessions. If you have a website you have found useful, let us know and we'll add it to the list.
