Coaching - Responsibilities at the beginning of the season
Set up chaperone schedule. Each practice MUST be chaperoned by a parent of a player on your team. Even coach practices must be chaperoned unless there are TWO coaches on the field.
Understand how to navigate to your schedule on www.wyslsoccer.org , click on "Schedules" or "Scores/Standings" (both links go to the same place). These links are near the top of the page. Your team's division is listed on your schedule that you got in your package at the SYSC orientation.
Understand the substitute coaching form in case NO coach can attend the game. Go to http://www.wyslsoccer.org/, click Forms (on the left) and then the substitute coaching link is halfway down the page. Must be submitted on MONDAY for the NEXT Sunday game.
Understand the pre-game responsibilities - children should show up approximately 30 to 45 minutes before the game to warm-up and be checked in by the referee.
Read the Red Coaching manual given out at the SYSC Orientation meeting. If you didn't get a copy, you can read the rules online at http://www.wyslsoccer.org/ - click "Rules and Procedures" on the left side.
Collect money from the team to pay for training, equipment, tournaments, parties, etc. (U9 teams do not have training fees and will receive a $50 stipend from SYSC to purchase balls, etc.) Parents should pay you within 2 weeks of your request at maximum. If parents have financial hardship, they should contact the president of the club (president@syscboard.org )
Pay your trainer invoice WITHIN TWO WEEKS OF RECEIPT!
Find a parent to handle the administration. Let the registrar know to add that parent as a manager (notify registrar@syscboard.org) and the parent needs to complete the online background check, go to http://www.wyslsoccer.org/, click on "Risk Management" on the left.
