Coaching Changes

To encourage a rewarding experience for both coaches and players, RHSC implemented the following in 2005:

1. We will recognize and reward those that do volunteer to coach

2. We will provide training so those who are interested, but are new to soccer can step forward.

3. We will not accept more children than we have coaches available.  Every team will have a head coach and one assistant coach.

4. We will identify a coaching coordinator for each age group.

Automatic Team Placement

If a parent is willing to volunteer as a head coach or assistant coach, their child will be placed on a team regardless of their position on the waiting list based on the order of registration and subject to standard age guidelines.

If a head coach brings along an assistant coach, we will place the child of the assistant coach on that team.  The club will only officially recognize one assistant coach per team. 

Head Coach Reimbursement

We will reimburse each In-house head coach for the cost of one child per team that they head coach this season. This is intended to be a gesture of thanks from the club to those parents willing to put in the considerable time to head coach. This does not apply to assistant coaches. A head coach with multiple children on a team will only be reimbursed for one child per team coached. 

We will reimburse the head coach after successful completion of the full season. A head coach who only coaches part of the season will not be eligible for this reimbursement. Reimbursement will be made only after all equipment borrowed by that coach has been returned to the club.

Coaching Training Reimbursement

We will reimburse coaches who attend the E-licensing training class for 50% of the class cost ($95) if they agree to coach another season with the club. We will reimburse them at the April coaching kickoff meeting. Both head coaches and assistant coaches are eligible for this reimbursement. 

Coaching Training

Check out the following coaching training options we have for this season.

Full Coaching Staff

We will not form a team unless we have a commitment from both a head coach and an assistant coach.  

Age-Specific Coaching Coordinators

Dave Swancott is the RHSC Coaching Coordinator for 2010.  Dave will be seeking volunteers to be Coaching Coordinators for each age bracket.  These Age-Specific Coaching Coordinators will help with communication, issue resolution, rules of play, training, etc. for each age group.
