TEAM OVERVIEW
Our mission is to help individuals to develop their character as resourceful and responsible members of their community by providing opportunities, through the game of soccer, for their mental, physical, social, and leadership development.
COACH EXPECTATIONS
1) I will be reasonable when scheduling games and practices remembering that young athletes have other interests and obligations.
2) I will teach my athletes to play fairly and to respect the rules, their teammates, officials and opponents.
3) I will ensure that all athletes get equal instruction and support.
4) I recognize that Cavan FC supports the Ontario Soccer Association Long Term Player Development program and as such I acknowledge that all players in U12 and below should receive equal playing time.
5) I will take the time to ensure that players and parents know my expectations are at all times during the year. e.g. practice commitment, playing time, etc.
6) I recognize that player assessments are a very important communication tool. They help players and parents understand why they have been released or receive limited playing time and thus I will complete them twice a season: February 1 and October 1.
7) I will not ridicule or yell at my athletes for making mistakes or for performing poorly. I will remember that children play to have fun and must be encouraged to have confidence in themselves.
8) I will make sure that equipment and facilities are safe and match the athletes’ ages and abilities.
9) I will remember that children need a coach they can respect. I will be generous with praise and set a good example.
10) I will complete required training and instruction and will continue to upgrade my coaching skills.
11) I will maintain proper/regular team communication with the other team officials.
12) I will represent my Team and my Club in a respectful manner at all times.
