Coach Development Program
We are excited about our Coach Development Program for Region 42 this Fall. The program will be comprised of a coaching staff of Coach Mentors that are AYSO Intermediate, Advanced or National Coaches that have coached at AYSO All Star, Select, or Extra level and have several years of experience. These Mentors will work alongside the volunteer coaches to provide guidance and support throughout the season.
Why the CDP and Who's it For?
The goal of this program is to provide coaches (new or experienced) support by giving them the tools and knowledge needed to run productive training sessions and matches. Why? Because we want to provide the players better training and skills so that they can be more confident, have more success and have more fun.
Coach Mentors will be available to work alongside the volunteer coaches to provide guidance and support throughout the season. The most common way that the Coach Mentor can be beneficial is by working alongside the coach at the training session. They can analyze the session and provide positive friendly feedback and help develop and if needed demonstrate parts of how the training should be conducted based on the theme. Support can also be provided through Match Analysis and feedback. So whether you are an experienced coach looking for some new ideas or a brand-new coach not sure where to start, the Coach Mentors can help.
Please make use of a Coach Mentor this season. Ask your Division Director for details. You and your players will be glad you did!
