Fellow soccer coaches:
At the most recent meeting, I distributed hardcopies of a first
draft of recommended soccer coaching guidelines for the various age groups.
This spreadsheet is meant as a first step to get us doing standard skill
progressions for all soccer players as they move through the various age
groups. It also has the advantage of helping newer coaches to recognize the
skill areas on which they need to focus and those skill areas that may be
"beyond" players of a specific age.

If we can get agreement to this, the next step is to start
generating a workbook of practice sessions and drills based on each of these
items so coaches can have some guidance on running practice.

Our ultimate goal is to make it easier to train coaches that will ensure
that our players have a consistent, enjoyable, learning soccer experience as
they move through the GVAA soccer program, so please help by emailing
comments to me at fkelly@... (not to the gvaasoccer group) on the
attached spreadsheet.

If by some change your security does not allow you to receive the file,
please email me so we can find an alternative way of getting the excel
spreadsheet to you.

thanks...

Frank
