[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there a common criteria on a coach’s resume that typically indicates that he/she would be a good coach such as:

- former college/pro player;
- years of coaching experience;
- level of coaching license:
- originally from Europe/South America, etc.;
- level of coaching experience (HS, MS, youth)[/quote]

You people are so insufferable. [/quote]

Why?  Cause the PP asked a legitimate question about what’s most important in a coach’s resume?[/quote]

Because you speak of "resumes" for youth coaches. You deserve to continue to get served up coaches who are like the tennis instructor from Seinfeld.

I go with reputation and recommendations from friends you trust. [/quote]

When you pay 14K a year for your daughter to play DA soccer (including travel) it is a legitimate question.  You don't want a parent coach, like yourself.  You want someone who has:
1. PLAYED the game at a college level or above (unlike many ECNL or DA coaches - sad but true)
2. Has positive coaching experience.  Not book or class experience.
3. Has been checked for abuse or mental illness.

Not a lot to ask for over $500/month.[/quote]

DA soccer does not cost 14k a year for a single kid unless you are from Washington State and you fly to every game. [/quote]
