[quote=Anonymous]So, I have seen this mentioned on here to choose a good coach and don’t worry about the club. I am curious what most people think about that statement. How do you tell if there is a “good” coach in a “bad” club? Does the club have any kind of development plan matter? Can they show the parents what it is? If not, should the coach at least have a development plan or should they just use their “gut” to lead the way? Does licensing matter with coaching? I’ve seen comments stating they do and others that it doesn’t matter at all. Should you go by experience? How many years have they been coaching and at what levels?

I think this is why parents go with club recognition as way to choose the club. It is hard to know what to look for, and by the time you figure it out, it may be too late. So, at least with a big club or a club with a reputation, you have an idea that they are at least using some kind of designed development plan to keep the reputation. If you are just picking a coach, however you found them, you have no way of knowing if they have a plan or if they are making it up as they go.  [/quote]
