Coaching
U5/U6 or new to
coaching:
Each eage group has it's specialty but the youngest age group can be
extra
challenging as most coaches are getting their feet wet in "soccer".
While we start noticing 2nd generation of coaches, most of the newly
additions
might have played themselves but never coached little players. To ease
the
learning experience and increase the joy, remember to have fun
for both
the players and you! This document
will
guide you through the most important topics you should cover during the
first
years. Once these are mastered, venture out and add extra game-based
activities.
Under 6 we have adapted Fifa laws to co-exist with the ROYSA
rules. For example we don't have assigned referees, therefore
a team's
assigned person can pick up the task. The attached
flyer contains all information needed to bring authority in
the game :-) TIP:
use a parent, so you can focus on the game itself.
Coaching License Reimbursement:
ROYSA encourages coaches to increase their skills by actively pursuing coaching licenses. The USSF D,E,F and Y-licenses are currently reimbursed by ROYSA. Please see the MSYSA website for the ongoing schedule. Similar courses from NSCAA will be considered also, please contact vicepresident@roysa.com for any related questions.
Video Library
Over the years, ROYSA has collected several soccer videos that the coaches can check out. Many new videos are added.
DVD for the Novice Coach
Learn how to organize and conduct training sessions for U6, U8, and U10 boys and girls. US Youth Soccer's introduction to Coaching Youth Soccer features live training sessions for each age group, plus a downloadable companion booklet.

Literature
A recommended coaching magazine that's informative from cover to cover is Success in Soccer with detailed and pictured training sessions for U6 to Adult training. If you are part of MSYSA Coaches Connection or NSCAA you get a nice discount as well.

Great link to a website that explains and shows all kinds of soccer drills for the goalie on down to the forward. Don't be confused by the title "Football" this is a website created in the U.K. were soccer is football, or is it football is soccer???
