How is BRYC assuring the quality of coaching?
Coaches are parent volunteers participating in and teaching soccer. Coaches receive a handbook and other aides that describe the rules of the game, good coaching techniques, and strategies for effective practices. On an annual basis, BRYC offers Virginia Youth Soccer Association certified “E” license soccer coaching training. BRYC will pay for volunteers to attend this 16 hour training (usually scheduled over a weekend) if they agree to coach Recreational Soccer for at least two seasons. Each season House Soccer also offers two hour coaching clinics that all new coaches are strongly encouraged to attend. Finally all new coaches meet with the Recreational Soccer Referee director for a detailed review of soccer rules.
