Another great article from Coaching Outside the Box, and painfully true… if only clubs made it a priority to educate parents and coaches, and work together with other clubs, rather than work against each and play one up with their trophies and medals. Kids are missing out due to ego’s and unrealistic promises from clubs.

This past Friday, April 28th, the managers of the Fremont YSC Competitive Teams attended a workshop at the soccer office.

We are incredibly grateful for the willingness of the managers to volunteer their time and to be part of our soccer program. Our workshop covered important updates to the team folders which all mangers carry, along with updated information about the program, the direction the club is heading in, and the relationships we have built over the past few months.

The workshop was a great opportunity for all the managers to come together, socialize, and be familiar with all the faces of the club. We look forward to working with each and everyone of our managers, and look forward to adding many more managers over the coming seasons.

Fremont YSC has gone club wide with Team Snap in it’s Competitive Program, with all teams now using the communication platform. At the start of 2017 one of our goals was to improve the communication efforts between the club and its members. Team Snap is the first step in communication improvement, delivering instant notifications to all players with practice, game, and club event updates straight to their inbox’s, through text messaging service, and with push notifications on their smart phones.

This weekend the vast majority of soccer clubs would have now had their first game of the season. This should be a great time for all players involved… however, it’s sadly not the case for many. We reflect the adult game on to kids, expecting to see what our professional idols do.

The jerseys the kids put on elevate them to adult status where mistakes are not OK, and you must win at all costs!

We can only control our own behavior and actions, and we at Fremont YSC will always put the kids at the forefront of youth soccer, behaving and acting in a away which benefits their all round individual development.

• We define our success as – DEVELOPMENT
• We coach for – DEVELOPMENT
• Our Club Development Plan is for – DEVELOPMENT

Our coaches are compensated for their skills in coaching, being able to get their point across and approaching youth sports as an environment for players to learn through making mistakes, and having fun. Our coaches are not compensated for win-loss ratios, division titles, and cup victories.

Support the coaches by being patient, understanding the process, and reaching out to them with an open for answering questions you may have so we can better develop education for both players and parents.

The following videos (Positive Coaching Alliance and the18) highlight the difficulties we face when challenged with people perceiving compensated coaches being there to win games, and why we coach – we do it for the kids.

Let the kids play, and support your coaches.

Julie Foudy (@JulieFoudy), a PCA National Advisory Board Member, played midfield for the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team (1987-2004), winning two World Cup titles and two Olympic Gold Medals. A 2007 inductee into the National Soccer Hall of Fame, she now works as an ESPN Analyst and runs the Julie Foudy Sports Leadership Academy, teaching leadership skills to youth.

In this clip, Foudy speaks with PCA at the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Convention about the approach paid coaches take to winning and player development. She begins by acknowledging that coaches whose jobs depend on winning are in a tough position. However, she quickly conveys that this doesn’t make negative coaching behavior acceptable.

More importantly, Foudy strikes on the point that emphasizing winning over development is an impossible environment for kids to learn and grow. Making mistakes is a part of mastering any skill, and a young athlete will be fearful of failing when taking on a new challenge if a coach can’t concentrate more on development than the outcome on the scoreboard.

This past weekend the Fremont Youth Soccer staff were out on the fields bright and early to get the paint down on the field ready for the upcoming Spring season.

As always Don Hugie was a huge help in getting everything organized and doing all the messy work… even taking time out to give a big black spider a little cuddle!

We want to take this opportunity to thank Don for all his hard work, and constant willingness to volunteer his time to the club.
