[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone tell us how things went with tryouts and if they got a strong roster for the 2014G top team next year?
How is a new coach SA from GFR, Is he good? [/quote]

So I have looked into this Coach and it seems like parents are very divided on him. Some parents liked him and others did not. It does seem like he is not leaving on the best of terms. From what I’ve heard he seems very cocky and will overpromise parents and tell them what they want to hear and will not deliver. Which is what a lot of parents had issues with At Great Falls.

We did see him Coach the other weekend, which is when we chatted with the parents and I didn’t see anything alarming or positive to note. [/quote]

IMO, you ought to ask a couple of questions...

What is their expectation on coach/parent engagement: How often, what's too much and too little?

Player development approach, outlook for the season? Where we are today, what I want us to look like by mid-season and towards the end of the year.
-Rotation in positioning vs pigeon-holing players early in youth development?
-How will they determine time/minutes on the field?
-How will they determine performance improvement/assessment/feedback?

Are they...
-Assertive, confident, project authority and demand discipline?
-Proactive in correcting issues on the spot with executing drills.
-Working on the basics when those fundamentals are not meeting performance thresholds? What does that expectation look like?

Are the players sitting around for X number minutes while other kids/teams/coaches seem to be already training? Why is that?

What does attendance, custody and accountability for players look like for the coach? 
-Do they just leave the kids on the fields?

What a treat! A rare sighting of intelligent life in this thread! (Really the whole soccer subforum...)

Well said and agree 100%. Even asking half of these should give you a pretty good idea of whether or not a coach is worth spending a year and a few grand for...
