Coaches

Last updated: March 6, 2008

Thank you for volunteering to be a coach for the Salmon Creek Soccer Club!  The Salmon Creek Soccer Club exists for our young players, but without coaches the club can’t function.  Being a coach is one of the most rewarding roles to play within the club, yet it can be a challenge as well.  Each player is different and presents a unique opportunity from teaching/coaching point of view.  Also, there are twice as many parents as players, and it is the coach’s job to get all of them on the same page.

We are always looking to add to our roster of coaches, at all levels of experience and licensing.  If you know someone who is interested in making a difference in a young soccer player's life, please have them register to be a coach by contacting Jim Silk.

Rosters

Before the first game you will receive a roster signed by the Columbia Youth Soccer Federation Registrar, Deborah McIntosh.  Prior to each game, you will give the referee your signed roster. If you do not have your roster the referee has been instructed to not let your team play. Make sure you have all of your paperwork with you at each game and practice, whether in-club or out-of-club.

Uniforms

Players will wear the club colors when playing out-of-club. When playing another SCSC team, the designated home team surrenders their jerseys in favor of the grey SCSC authorized t-shirts.

Rules for 2007

The SCSC Board of Directors has approved an abbreviated summary of the rules of play for ages U6 through U19. All referees and coaches are advised to refer to this grid, which combines the rule modifications put forth by multiple sources (WYSYA, CYSF, SCSC).

State Certified Licensing

Coaches have one year to obtain the license needed at their level of coaching. For example, a U-6 Coaching Certificate for those coaching a U-6 team. Learn more about obtaining a state certified license online.

A number of coaching clinics are available each summer to help you obtain the required training for certification, and have some fun doing it!

Clinics

The contact for all the clinics is Sunny Dulai, (360) 907-3497.
