It’s no fun to spend the game on the bench…and that’s no way to learn soccer! Everyone Plays® 1) In our region: 75% AYSO Region 1112 Spring 2014 Coaches Meeting 10 Everyone Plays® • In our region: Play each player at least three quarters of every game, whenever possible. (No player plays 4 quarters if there’s players that didn’t play 3 quarters yet.) Exception: playoffs. • The "Everyone Plays" rule applies to all players, regardless of skill level or age, and regardless of the number of practices they attend. How Coaches Help • Keep track of who’s playing when AND where • Give all players a chance to play all positions at some point during the season – They MAY play the same position throughout the entire game. • The same players should not always sit out the first quarter of each game, so that they do not think of themselves as permanent substitutes. AYSO Region 1112 Spring 2014 Coaches Meeting 11 Balanced Teams Each year we form new teams as evenly as possible – because it is fair and more fun when teams of equal ability play. Balanced Teams AYSO Region 1112 Spring 2014 Coaches Meeting 12 Open Registration Our program is open to all children between 4 and 19 years of age who want to register and play soccer. Interest and enthusiasm are the only criteria for playing. Open Registration AYSO Region 1112 Spring 2014 Coaches Meeting 13 Positive Coaching Encouragement of player effort provides for greater enjoyment by the players and ultimately leads to better-skilled and bettermotivated players. Positive Coaching AYSO Region 1112 Spring 2014 Coaches Meeting 14 Good Sportsmanship We strive to create a safe, fair, fun and positive environment based on mutual respect, rather than a win-at-all-costs attitude, and our program is designed to instill good sportsmanship in every facet of AYSO. Good Sportsmanship AYSO Region 1112 Spring 2014 Coaches Meeting 15 Good Sportsmanship Positive Coaching & Good Sportsmanship: • No negative commenting on officiating! (No matter whether this is a certified referee or the other coach.) Positive comments are encouraged! • No recruiting players AYSO Region 1112 Spring 2014 Coaches Meeting 16 Player Development We believe that all players should be able to develop their soccer skills and knowledge to the best of their abilities, both individually and as members of a team, in order to maximize their enjoyment of the game.
