Team
Coaching
Team coaching is the best way to build the foundation that every
player and team needs to be successful.
Soccer for Life will implement a season long training strategy
that best suites your teams specific needs. A professional Soccer
for Life coach/trainer will be assigned to your team to build a
solid foundation of excellent soccer training as well promoting our
motto of building individual character, confidence and
self-esteem.
Team coaching provides a great opportunity to get the whole
Soccer for Life experience. Players benefit from having two
practices per week as well being coached from the sideline during
weekly league games. Having this interaction three times per week
allows coaches to get to know individual player personalities on
both a professional and personal level.
The "Life" part in Soccer for Life is designed to give players
the personal attention that they need to feel good about themselves
as individuals and as a team. While getting great coaching on the
field players are introduced to life skills that they will use in
their everyday life off the field.
Wether your team is top flight or just getting started, Soccer
for Life can provide a huge assist toward achieving your goals.

Team Coaching - Ages U8 to U11
Soccer for Life specializes in helping intermediate age players
advance to the next level with a strong emphasis on technical
development and positional skills. While team concept is always
king, we dedicate ample training to individual ball and foot
skills, ideal spacing and strategic approach. In addition, we help
transition players to a larger field size and full-sided 11 on 11
games. Sportsmanship, cooperation and commitment come with the
territory.

Team Coaching - Ages U12 to U17
The developing player rehearses and applies the requisite skills
to compete at the high school level and beyond. Coaches emphasize
individual skill and tactical development, offensive and defensive
concepts, varying formations (i.e. 4-4-2, 3-5-2, 4-3-3), set
pieces, distribution out of the back and possession and direct play
to name just a few areas of concentration. Conditioning is
paramount and nutrition imperative in preparing players for a
season of excellence.

Soccer Tryouts
Let Soccer for Life remove the administrative and political
hurdles from your club's tryout season. It's easy! Schedule your
tryouts with SFL and we will take care of the entire selection
process. Player evaluations will be made through carefully
structured activities and small-sided scrimmages. Ranking is
achieved with utter impartiality and with no involvement from club
officials. As a result, there is no suggestion of bias. Many clubs
have special rules for tryouts, with guidelines that govern the
selection of the teams. We work with you to ensure that all such
club procedures are followed. SFL can run your entire tryout
process from top to bottom or simply work as evaluators within your
current tryout structure. An SFL director is always on hand to
discuss aspects of your tryouts, and to suggest certain procedures
and methods if you are seeking counsel. Soccer for Life has been
evaluating talent and conducting successful tryouts for more than
ten years. We'll help you put your most competitive team on the
field. Try us out today!

Coaches Education Clinics for Parents and
Managers
Soccer for Life can deliver a coaching clinic designed to outline
objectives and meet individual and team goals. These clinics
typically last 1½ to 2 hours with participants receiving age
appropriate training focused on practice sessions and game day
coaching. The coaching clinic can be provided as a complimentary
component of our services. Future clinics can be scheduled as
desired.

Recreation Training
SFL can supplement your recreation, intramural and instructional
programs to deliver a more comprehensive soccer experience. We will
work with parents and volunteer coaches to implement constructive
sessions based on player's age and ability. Children learn the
fundamentals of soccer through a program of structured activities
and games. Our programs are fun based & developmentally
innovative. We highly recommend that recreation level coaches join
us as 'assistant coaches' as we deliver the program to their
players, which ensures seamless development throughout the
season.
