I think its important for coaches to stay with the same team as they progress. When a team has a new coach every year its hard for all players on the team to buy into a system and all be on the same page. With a new coach every year, its basically pulling all the pieces apart and starting all over again. Im planning on staying with this team for atleast 3 years with a goal of taking them to a provincal championship. What do you guys think? Have any of you obtained a provincal or state championship with your team? I will be coaching the same team next year. I think its important for coaches to stay with the same team as they progress.

Outdoor won't start for us till May, but I expect to be coaching again. Like most, I coach because my daughters play, my oldest has now gone onto Womens, and my younger daughter is U16. I understand the time constraints that many face but soccer has been such a positive way to connect with my daughters that I will coach them as long as I can. When they are both done youth, I may continue coaching adult but more likely just continue reffing and training keepers. I'll probably keep playing till I go from masters to Legends to "walker" soccer.

I plan on coaching the same team next season. We played a total of 14 games and won 12, lost 1, and tied 1. It was a great experience. We had a total of 3 coaches(1 Head coach for last 2 years, me as an assistant, and another dad who had 10 years experience as a referee.) It was good combination. We had 18 coed players(9 boys, 9 girls ages 12-15). The biggest problem we had was substitutions. We played 24 minutes per half. We had all experince levels from 1 year playing to 9 years. I loved your soccer related emails. The drills were also a big help!!! I am looking forward to the next season. I was an assistant coach for the first time this year. I plan on coaching the
