Are you interested in being a coach? Coaches begin on Tuesday, August 13 with a coaching clinic with Instructor Kenny Hills and his staff. The clinic is designed to help coaches learn techniques to help their players better grasp technical skills and their tactical understanding of soccer. The clinic is formatted for each age group and is not compulsory, but useful for all coaches to gain ideas for their own practices. Coaches who have a player in the program will receive a discount on fees. Please indicate when registering if you are interested in coaching.
