Step 1
Consider the commitment. It takes a lot of time and energy to coach properly. Make sure you have both before signing on.
-
Step 2
Run it by your child. See how he or she feels about you coaching, and if there are any objections. You might want to reconsider - or coach another team - if your child feels uncomfortable with your plans.
-
Step 3
Hit the books. Consider taking a soccer coaching license course. It will help you learn about soccer. In addition, many leagues require that coaches have licenses.
-
Step 4
Start out slowly. Volunteer to be an assistant coach at first in order to learn the ropes.
-
Step 5
Become a student of the game. Watch teams and players of similar age to your child. Also, watch older teams so you know what to expect as you move along.
-
Step 6
Ask around. Find other coaches with good reputations and get to know them. Ask for their advice.
-
Step 7
Observe other coaches. Attend games to watch, especially those coached by someone with a good reputation.
-
Step 8
Get support if you're a woman. Female coaches are less common than male coaches - and greatly appreciated. But chances are you'll need extra support and encouragement.
