COACH EDUCATION
The objective of this coaching education page is to provide coaches with a sample of the games/drills/activities provided on Cal North's new coaching curricula.
Youth Soccer Drills for Young Players
These drills and games are provided by Jeff Pill, current US Women’s National Staff coach. These games cover all topics and ages with complete training sessions geared toward various topics for youth coaches.
This site provides video examples and explanations of topics for all ages and all levels. This is a great resource for the coach looking for live video examples from some of the top clubs in the world which explain various technical, tactical, and physical aspects of the game of soccer.
This is a great coaching resource to which coaches can subscribe online or through the mail to receive clear examples of written 90-minute sessions around all aspects of the game. Enrollment in this program also results in an online newsletter that comes to the subscriber on a regular basis.
National Soccer Coaches Association of America
Enrollment in this organization provides a wealth of coaching information while also providing additional liability insurance for the youth coach. Mustang Soccer hosts several training courses taught by USSF "A" licensed instructors from the NSCAA. You can find all of these courses listed on this site in Danville and in surrounding areas. We suggest that all volunteer and professional coaches join this professional organization to continue their commitment to continuing education.
In an ongoing effort to educate all members of the youth community on the rules of the game, Ask the Ref is a website that provides access to a panel of referees for questions about interpretations of the Laws of the Game.
