[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do not hire a coach for rec. just have parents rotate the overseeing responsibilities of practice and at games and allow everyone similar playing time. $15 book w some drills and do your best to have the kids try them at practice and have fun. [/quote]

My husband, a foreigner from a no soccer country ended up,coaching when no one else did. I did the managing job. If we had to do it again, we'd pay a high school student. We were ill equipped and needed someone with at least a bit of knowledge.

I think rotating the parents is a terrible idea.

Do not hire an expensive coach. A teen is fine.  Have the kid's responsibilities include teaching you the drills.

This is good advice.  Teens who play at a decent level and are willing to take on the job are much more likely to be able to teach kids real skills and a good approach to the game than a well intentioned parent with no soccer background.[/quote]

Thanks. I stress that I would have part of the job teaching the willing parents how to coach....
