[quote=soccerx3kidsss]This is really great info. Thank you. So would it be safe to say the club doesn't really matter here it's more about the coach? Basically anytime I hear anything about a coach it usually is always some love them and some hate them. There are some coaches who I hear such awful things about or rumors about abusive behavior that worries me. There are a lot of coaches who somehow still manage to keep their job even with a track record of inappropriate behavior. ALL I WANT IS A GOOD COACH! It seems a good coach is so hard to come by these days. I do agree it depends on the kid and the way they get along with the coach but as far as what constitutes a good coach I think the things we are looking for are:

1. Dedication - showing up on time and being prepared with a game plan. Players are held accountable and good leadership! 
2. Communication - has great interpersonal skills to develop trust with parents and players 
3. Knowledge of the game and age-appropriate development, truly helping every player on their team be the best version of themselves 
4. Passion and positive coaching style, someone who can really build a winning team not just steal players. Not someone who joysticks or constantly yells. 
5. Connections to college?

Overall if anyone on here had to list their top 5 coaches in the area (ECNL coaches or GA) that fit these criteria that would be great to hear! VA or MD
