[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would appreciate your willingness to pitch in, but I can't help but say that you're really not helping any but trying to lead something you have no knowledge about.  I would almost say the kids would be better off having scrimmages and the parents being more coordinators than coaches.

I think you may get more out of this experience than the kids you're coaching.[/quote]

Nonsense.  Most of the kids will have little knowledge of the game.  The coach will learn a lot, but the kids will too.[/quote]

The kids will learn a lot if they have someone that can show them or teach them.  A well meaning volunteer that doesn't know soccer won't be able to teach much.[/quote]

Sure they will. These are little kids! OP said their kid was 6. So these are either 5/6 year olds or 6/7 year olds. This isn’t a tryout situation or getting into serious soccer when you’d want a paid, professional coach. Also, the way these little kid rec leagues work, if there’s not enough parent coach volunteers, some kids won’t get to play because they can’t get matched to a team. So the more people who volunteer, the better. [/quote]
