COACHING

Coaches are an integral part of Lassen Youth Soccer. All of our coaches are parents who volunteer their time and efforts to help the league's youth to enjoy their soccer experience so that they will love the game and love to play it. Not only do coaches teach them about how to play the game and help increase their skills, they also inspire in them life values of fair play, good sportsmanship (how to both win and lose with grace), leadership, respect, determination, and teamwork, just to name a few things. It's a highly rewarding experience to coach your child and his/her teammates. Even if you do not know anything about the game, you can still register to coach. We offer coach training clinics to get you started and help you succeed in this vital, rewarding volunteer role of coaching soccer. Click on the links to the left to register. For more information, contact our Coaching Coordinator, Danny Matchniff.
