[quote=Anonymous]how people get started in coaching:

1. you have played soccer at some level. The more experience you have playing and your own training that you did as a player and knowledge of the game, the further along your starting point is when you get into coaching.

2. you go get some kind of a coaching license (grass roots license through VYSA is fine to start). If you played at a fairly high level, do the 2 required grass roots modules and then do the D license. That's really the minimum to get into "travel" soccer where it's paid.

3. If you just have the grass roots modules, volunteer coach a recreational team to learn how to coach. unpaid but you learn. OR be an assistant on a travel team.

4. If you get your D, then you can head coach a lower level travel team (bottom tier at a big club) at whatever age group you think you work best with based on your personality. You'll have to learn from another coach with more experience.

5. At some point, your sessions will have to teach individual technique. As you get more experience with that, you learn how to work with individual players.

6. during the offseason one or a few of your current or former players might approach you or ask for more training. great experience.

7. Then you can get into setting up a website, word of mouth, do a little social media, get on CoachUp, and start getting some training going. It helps to establish yourself in a club so people know who your are, and then you start to develop a reputation based on how good your teams are and how good the players are on your teams.

Or you could go in a different direction and not coach teams, just do training. Learn through experience and looking stuff up on Youtube.[/quote]
