Coaches & Managers

What is Required to Be a Coach?

Are you an enthusiastic individual who has a genuine interest in working with young children to help them enjoy an athletic team experience while learning new skills at the same time?  Well, these are the only prerequisites needed for this fulfilling position.  The WBSC will provide you with information, support, materials, and equipment to help you during the summer soccer season.  All coaches must be over 16 years of age and will need to provide a copy of a valid police check to the WBSC.

As a WBSC volunteer coach, please understand the time and commitment that is required to participate as being a coach of a team. As a volunteer coach your duties may include but are not limited to:

  1. Attending a coaches' meeting prior to the start of the season to receive team rosters, uniforms, soccer balls, and a coach's bag.  Once a coach has received their player list, calls to parents should be made within 48 hours informing them of their child’s team colour, name, and pre-game meeting night.  
  2. Throughout the season a coach must remain in continuous contact with players and parents to let them know about game schedules, times, locations, and practice information if applicable.
  3. It is expected that coaches will wear the jerseys provided by the WBSC to every game.
  4. Coaches must be committed for the entire season. It is expected that all coaches will arrive ahead of the scheduled times to set up for drills, set up nets, and warm players up in preparation for the game.
  5. It is the responsibility of the coaches to notify players and parents if you are unable to attend a practice and/or games. It is the responsibility of the coach to ask for a parent volunteer to step forward to fill in while you are away.  
  6. Coaches should always be positive and demonstrate an enthusiastic approach to supporting the learning and development of each player on the field.
  7. If you would like assistance with learning new drills, or suggestions of games to encourage skill development, please don’t be afraid to ask. Our Board members are more than happy to provide you with any support you might need.
