On behalf of the Executive, I’d like to welcome you to the 2012 outdoor soccer season on the club’s 39th anniversary. It is
always good to see so many familiar faces,
as well as many new faces, and the executive is happy to help bring these programs
to our membership. We have been busy
gearing up for the season and hope you
see the results of the hard work of our
volunteers and staff. Thanks to everyone
that has taken the time to coach, convene,
sponsor or work on the executive. It is
these volunteer efforts that help make the
soccer season special for so many children
in your community.
Good luck to all our players and coaches,
we wish you a great season! If you need
any help, please don’t hesitate to contact
the club office or executive members.
Pat DeCraemer
Welcome To The 2012 Outdoor Season!
House League Opening Day and BBQ is this
Saturday and practices have started. Due to
unforeseen problems with the club scheduling system and website, the schedules are
still not finalized and will be communicated
through your coaches. The executive apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.
If you haven’t heard from your coach by
Thursday evening, please contact the club to
let us know.
to change teams.
It takes many volunteers to pull the season
together, so please don’t forget to let your
coaches and other volunteers know that you
appreciate what they do. Everyone is working hard to make this a fun season. The
house league is about player development,
and we hope both players and spectators
can bring a positive attitude to the fields and
encourage fair play so that everyone can
enjoy learning some skills in a healthily competitive atmosphere.
Finally, please consider volunteering if you
aren’t already. There are lots of things going
on off the fields too. From helping with
events like picture day, Cup Day and the
yearend Harvest Gala, to working on the
club newsletter, running a club contest for
the kids, getting involved with fundraising
and sponsorship, offering assistance if you
are a handyman or volunteering to be a
team manager or run the team snack list,
every little bit helps make your club better.
To ensure teams are balanced so the season
is fun for everyone, it may be necessary to
move some players after a few games. Every
effort will be made to ensure this happens
as early as possible and before picture day.
Please be cooperative if your child is asked
If you would like to volunteer in any capacity, please contact the Club by email to
volunteer@caledonsocer.com for further
information. Many hands make light work.
WE ARE ONLY AS GOOD AS
OUR VOLUNTEERS

Coach’s Corner
Your Team's First Practice
Make your players feel special by
learning all of their names as
soon as possible. When each
player arrives, give them a
proper handshake, studying their
face and introduce yourself by
the name you wish to be called
for the season, eg "Coach Cam."
Remember their most distinguishing feature, eg . curly hair,
and link it to their name. Repeat
their name back to them to help
you remember it. Tell them that
you hope they have lots of fun
this season and that you will try
to help them to become the best
player that they can be. On your
team list, check off their name
and note their distinguishing
feature for future reference to
help you link their name.
Remember at all times that you
are the player's role model. If
you are positive and enthusiastic, they will have a tendency to
copy you. So decide what your
own philosophy and style of
coaching is, and try at all times at
the field to live it. Show attention to each player and their
ability. Teach them to respect
the referee’s decisions, your
decisions and their own decisions. Inform them that everyone makes mistakes, including
superstars like Ronaldo. Smart
players learn from their mistakes
and improve. Motivate them to
try new techniques in practice
each week. As they become confident in their new talent, encourage them to try it during a
game.
If you can keep the kids happy,
you will be well on your way to
keeping the parents happy. Use
95% of your attention and energy on the players rather than
the parents.
Use lots of game-style drills for
individuals or small teams, ie. 2
players versus 2 players to provide lots of ball contact and
player contact. Make them competitive. There are many exam-
ples of games available in manuals or at websites like
www.footy4kids.co.uk and soccer-coaching-blog.com.
team and coach can improve
each week. If so, this should be
the start of a fun successful season.
Cameron Lindsey
In your 3-4 minute (5%) talk with
the parents, remind them that
you are a non-paid volunteer
who will try to do your best to
make this a fun, positive season.
You cannot promise to provide
exactly equal playing time because of unknown circumstances. Any parent who has
concerns should be invited to
take charge of time allocation
themselves. Welcome private
criticism that is respectful and
positive after a 24 hour "thinkabout-it" period.
Just Added to the Website
Explain to the players and parents that you expect them to be
on time, equipment prepared,
and ready to have fun. At the
end of the session, ask the players for feedback as to which
parts of the session they enjoyed. Make them feel part of
the process so that both the

hosting British Soccer Camps from
Challenger Sports for the week of July 1620, 2012. British Soccer Camps provide
players of all ages and abilities with the
rare opportunity to receive high-level

himself a little more” and that they “have
been "raving" about it and the kids are still
saying “Brilliant” all the time.” Read the
