The Santa Rosa South Soccer Club recognizes that coaches are the key to players having success and fun. We offer support for our coaches in several ways:
Drill Handouts:
Go to our Coaching Drills page for helpful drills to use during practices.
Trainers: The Club can provide experienced trainers to run one or more practices for you, teaching your players and helping you learn by example.
Coach mentors: The Club has several experienced coaches that can help you in any area, from planning practices to working with difficult parents to identifying drills/games you can use at practices.
