Coaching Information

All Age Groups

GHSC is always on the lookout for new coaches. Worried about lack of experience? Don’t be! All you need is time, organizational skills, a willingness to learn and a positive attitude! We will supply the rest; training, equipment, support and encouragement.

Being a coach is the most time-consuming, challenging job within the GHSC. However, it is also the most fun, rewarding and satisfying job! When you decide to coach, you give yourself the opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of your players. While teaching soccer skills, you are also teaching life lessons; such as how to work as part of a team, how to persevere in the face of adversity, leadership skills and most important how success is not defined by your win-loss record. Rather, success is measured in effort, personal progress and positive attitudes. You have a wonderful opportunity to build self-esteem amongst your players, regardless of their soccer ability.

As a coach, it is important to have a fun and friendly approach towards your players and parents. It is equally important to be organized and on-time for practices and games. Establish an atmosphere of respect around your team. Every member of the team is important and should be treated accordingly. Every player should play at least half of every game. At your initial team meeting, clearly outline your expectations and be sure to include comments on respectful communication to fellow team members, opponents, parents and referees. Remember; you are the team leader and the most effective leaders lead by example, not just words.
