Having problems with message search?
A summary of some key points that you hopefully took away from my comments last night and that you convey in your dealings with your team's parents.
The "center of your universe" (focus) appears to be your child's team A better model is to look at the Club as that "center" and your child's team as one of the planet's. The excellent environment and training that the kids experience isn't possible without the excellence that the Club fosters. As I've said in other forums, that excellence starts with our very excellent President Alberto Montoya - I didn't mention this last night because Alberto doesn't like when I say nice things about him :-).
Another way of looking at this write up is that it is a plan for the upcoming year and setting expectations. We all have to "stick our oars in the water" and pull to keep the Club boat going. I'm writing this not because we have a problem (my experience has been that the volunteering has been very good) but to set expectations since we have new teams and individuals every year.
Examples of "volunteer" efforts:
* The fields work required for laying out and relining fields
* The portion of District Cup that our League runs (could be end of October or November)
* Family and Awards Night (typically in September/October but we might do it in May/June this year)
* Generating interest in getting parents and/or players above the age of 13/14 trained as refs (training is typically in July)
Requirements you will need to satisfy are a minimum of E/D Coaching License for head coaches and F Coaching License for assistant coaches.
A new requirement discussed last night is attendance at a Positive Coaching Alliance Coaching Workshop we will be co-sponsoring with the Sunnyvale Club. Each team is required to have at least 1 representative. I'll send details in a separate eMail. This is tentatively scheduled for Friday June 4th 6:30-9:30PM. This workshop includes many tips and strategies for coaching players. It includes setting expectations on sideline behaviors.
Thanks!
Your Loyal and Dedicated Coaching Coordinator,
Sergio Ciccolella
