Coaching Resources

While players are essential to any sports entity, the coaches form the absolute backbone of the Collierville Soccer Association.   They are simply our most important assets.   They are often a child's first teacher in the sport of soccer.   They are role models of good sportsmanship and behavior.   They are working men and women who give freely of their time so that children will play and love the game of soccer.

Anyone can be a coach in the Collierville Soccer Association.   All it takes is a yearning to have fun with kids and to want to teach.   While previous soccer experience would be beneficial to the prospective coach, it is not a prerequisite.    All coaches benefit from the CSA's seasonal coaching clinics provided free by professional coaches.   Additionally, new coaches may benefit not only from the clinics but also from the CSA's unique coach-mentor program whereby an experienced coach is paired with a new coach for the first practice and game to ease the transition to coach.  

Additionally, United States Soccer Federation (USSF) licensing programs are available for those coaches interested in attaining coaching certification.   The USSF “E” license course will be arranged by the CSA at seasonal intervals.  

All Head Rec Coaches who currently hold a USSF E-License or higher will have the CSA registration fee waived for one child for as long as they coach at CSA.  

So how do you volunteer to become a coach?   Simply check the appropriate box on the CSA recreational Registration sheet when you sign your child up and a commissioner will be in contact with you approximately three to four weeks before the season starts.   For those of you who don't have children playing in the CSA but would like to contribute your coaching expertise, please stop by the CSA offices or call 854-8724 to volunteer.
