Coaching Programs

The volunteer coach is one of the most integral parts of the LSC-AUC soccer organization and we value their dedication and commitment to ensuring that our kids are safe and having fun. Beginning in the spring of 2008, volunteer coaches are required to attend a licensing/coaching course. This requirement assures that our coaches are prepared to properly teach the fundamentals of soccer. This requirement is part of the LSC-AUC, CAYSA and STYSA bylaws and is in place to assure the safety of our children, to assure the proper teaching of soccer, and to provide our children with a positive soccer experience every year they play.

 

LSC-AUC Rec will pay for the appropriate age group licensing of our volunteer coaches. Several dates will be available for coach licensing and training through LSC-AUC, CAYSA and NSCAA. Age group commissioners will have all of the information necessary for their coaches.

It is our sincere desire to work diligently with our volunteer coaches to educate, encourage and evaluate their progress throughout the season. Clinics and tips of the week will provide additional resources for our volunteer coaches during the up-coming season.

If you would like to be a volunteer coach, here is the procedure:

1. On your registrations for your kids, there is a volunteer section that must be completed. Please check the Coach box. 

2. If you are interested in coaching, please contact the office at 512-899-1049.

 

3. Attend the pre-season coach meetings in mid-August (please see calendar for date and location)..  

4. Attend a coaching clinic prior to the season. Look for emails and on the website for details on local events.  If you do not have a coaching license, certification courses are also held throughout the summer and throughout Central TX and the state. Go to www.stxsoccer.org , our state association, and go to the Coaching Courses page. You will see a calendar to choose the proper courses.
