Thank You
Your players
thank you for enabling them to play soccer. PASO understands that some coach
volunteers have never played soccer while others have played soccer their entire
life. We have opportunities within our organization to assist both types of
individuals with the challenging task of coaching. We consider you to be amazing
for volunteering to coach our players due to the amount of time and effort that
is required as a coach. While the responsibility of guiding our players is
substantial we feel that you will find it immensely rewarding! We would like to
recognize you by saying “You are a great person for volunteering to coach!”

What Great Soccer Coaches Need to Do
Here's a list of things that all coaches should do at the beginning of the
season:
-
Check the date and time for the coaches
meeting. You will receive your team roster at this meeting. You can
optionally attend the Frisco coaches meeting. The date and time will
be listed at the Frisco Soccer Home
page.
-
All Coaches, Assistant Coaches and
Team Managers are required to complete an online Background
Check form prior to the beginning of each Fall season.
The background check is valid for one full year. Therefore it will also be
good for the following Spring season. If you do not serve as team staff in
the Fall and have interest of serving in the Spring, you must submit your
information prior to start of Spring season. If a form is not submitted,
PASO has the responsibility of asking you to forfeit your position.
-
If you haven't gotten your coaches license
yet, sign up for a clinic at the
Frisco Coaches Clinic page.
-
If your team doesn't have a name yet, come up
with one. It's fun to let the kids come up with it. The team
name must be unique within the league.
-
If your team doesn't have uniforms yet, choose
the design and color and order them. Please note that you should also
obtain vests that contrast your uniform color in the event that you play a
team with the same uniform color. The home team must wear the vests.
We can't specify places where you must order uniforms. However, we can
provide a list of companies that you can choose from. Please click on
the Uniform link in the green bar above for ideas.
-
Set the times and place for practice.
Send an email to
info@prospersoccer.org for field
reservations.
-
Get soccer equipment for practices. Ideally,
you should have 3 or 4 extra soccer balls, enough vests for half your
players and cones or flags to mark off a field and goals.
-
Contact the parents of your players.
It's a good idea to call all the parents first and then follow up with an
email. This call is a good opportunity for you to give the parents
important information about the upcoming season and to give them the chance
to ask you questions.
-
View the
game rules by division document to understand
specifics that apply to your division.
-
Throughout the season, Coaches, Assistant
Coaches and Managers can access team information by clicking on the Coaches
Admin link above in the green bar.
What Great Soccer Coaches Need to Know
We understand
the joy that is experienced by seeing your children participate in soccer. The
great thing about the PASO soccer program is that it is a player developmental
program. No score is kept for children U9 and under, and scores for U10 and over
are for placement purposes only. By agreeing to be a coach in the PASO league
you agree to the following key points of our program:
-
I will allow our players, referees and
parents to make mistakes without yelling or criticizing them
-
I will rotate our players across field
positions at least through U9
-
I will ask our player’s parents for help
in managing the team
-
I will focus on player development and
never discuss the score with our players
-
When I disagree with a referee we will
remain calm and deal with it after the game in a professional manner
-
I will perform my duties to encourage
children to return to the sport of soccer
-
I will focus on the seven ideals of our
league and not on winning and losing the game
-
I will
comply with all NTSSA , PASO and FSA rules and regulations
