Youth Soccer Philosophy
Back to soccer home
	Overall philosophy (communication to parents)
	Our overall objective is to have fun while learning to be better soccer players Good soccer is a combination of skills, stamina, and smarts Our team is an equal playing time team
	Reminders (communication to players before practices and games)
	Our overall objective is to have fun while learning to be better soccer players. Along the way, we will always have an encouraging word for our teammates and opponents (and coaches!), whether they make a mistake or a great play.
	Logistics/Miscellaneous
	At practices, I like to minimize standing around (standing around already has a name--it's called baseball! <grin>). If each kid has a soccer ball, we can encourage juggling or passing back and forth whenever there is any idle time. (The Dutch say, "Always with the ball!")
