COACHING FOR CSC
Selection of Coaches
Individuals interested in coaching a Club team are required to complete
two applications. One form is a SoccerMaine volunteer disclosure
form and the second is a Club application. Applications are made
available during player registration sessions. Forms are also available
on the Club’s website (http://www.cumberlandsoccerclub.com)
and can be forwarded to the Club’s P.O. Box.
Selection of coaches is made by the Director(s) of Coaching in concert
with the Coaching Selection and Evaluation Committee of the Board.
All coaching positions are volunteer and made at the sole discretion
of the Director of Coaching and the Committee. Interested applicants
are subject to background checks. Coaching assignments are made
on an annual basis, and are not guaranteed for future years. All
coaches must re-apply for consideration each year.
Travel Soccer Coach Licensing
To be a Travel Soccer coach, you must complete an "E"
license course (U11 teams and above) or youth coaching module (for
U10 teams). These courses, sponsored by Soccer Maine, vary in length
and the Club, for those coaches passing, reimburses course costs.
Courses are offered in surrounding communities. The Director of
Coaching has a list of available courses and dates. In addition,
coaching courses are listed on the Soccer Maine website (http://www.soccermaine.com).
The Club also highly recommends the “D” license course
for the coaches of U12 teams and above.
Coaching certification classes are available through www.soccermaine.com
and offered periodically throughout the year.
Coaching Evaluations
A coaching evaluation form will be sent to all parents at the conclusion
of the season. These evaluations will be reviewed by the Director
of Coaching and discussed individually with each coach as appropriate.
These evaluations will remain the property of the CSC and be kept
by the Director of Coaching.
Mandatory Coaches Meeting
All coaches are required to attend a mandatory coaches meeting typically
held in late summer. Any coach unable to attend this meeting must
inform the director of coaching to make arrangements to review material
covered at this meeting.
Coaches Responsibilities
Good sportsmanship is a guiding principle of CSC. Coaches
set the tone for players. Therefore, CSC requires coaches to exemplify
good sportsmanship and to encourage team members to act similarly.
Coaches are also responsible for the behavior of their team’s
spectators at the games.
Coaches are required to hold open practices and team gatherings.
CSC policy states that coaches should strive to have at least one
additional adult at each practice to assist the coach in the event
of an emergency or injury.
