NSSDC Grass Roots Team/Coach Development Program

In partnership with its member clubs, Lions Gate Soccer Ass., Lynn Valley Soccer Ass. and Mount Seymour Soccer Ass. the NSSDC is pleased to offer the Grass Roots Team/Coach Development Program.

What it means to you as a coach of the team and also you as parent of each player

In each age group from U-8 to U-16 the clubs will have several teams playing within the House leagues.  During the season the clubs and their Technical Director (s) see it as an advantage to offer it’s players and coaches the ability to work with a professional coach.  This is where the NSSDC can offer its services as mentor and teacher to the coaches and its players.

How does it work?

Prior to the start of the season there are several steps taken to prepare all parties for the program. 

  • The NSSDC will provide each club team coach an official program curriculum guide which will be delivered both electronically and on the NSSDC website in the form of easy to understand lesson plans.  
  • The club team coaches will also be offered an on field coaching clinic to prepare them for the course.
  • Once the Program begins there will be a designated NSSDC Staff coach assigned to each team at the U8-U12 level and a designated NSSDC Staff coach assigned to 2 teams at the U13-U16 age groups to put the emphasis on the club coach to run the session with the guidance of the NSSDC Staff coach.
  • During the course of the program their will be a series of on field coaches clinics to further develop the club coaches in specific areas.

 

The staff coach will provide ongoing mentorship to the club coaches and its players. Each team and its team coaches will work with the NSSDC Staff Coaches on 6 separate occasions on the training ground.  During this time the coaches will work on the following program highlights:

  • Preparation of a structured training session plan.
  • Assist in the development of club coaches on field technical ability to deliver a structured progressive theme from warm up stage to its game related conclusion.
