Coaches Corner

Thinking of coaching but not sure you know enough about the game. Bristol Soccer Club will be there to offer the assistance you need. All of our coaches for the Micro, Midget and Recreation leagues are parent volunteers. We can help you plan organized practice sessions and provide the knowledge necessary to teach the kids the skills they need. Organization is key, in order to keep the practice on track and the kids busy. At the younger age groups, the game should be all about fun so the practice sessions usually consist of games that incorporate skills needed to succeed in soccer. Please feel free to contact us for more information. Also, keep checking the website to find out when we will have a coaches clinic.
