Competitive Division

For the 2011 season, all competitive team head coaches must have taken the Respect in Sports Program. This is an online program that can be completed in stages as convenient, or at once. The cost is $30 and the program takes less than 3 hours in total. On completion the cost will be reimbursed by the club. All other coaches are encouraged to take the program, which will be rolled out to all club coaches in the coming seasons. It is also likely that the OSA will make it mandatory in the near future.

Competitive coaches are invited to check out the Competitive Coaches Blog at www.cataraquiclippers.blogspot.com for coaching tips and resources from the Technical Director

When using the Lesson Plans remember just to pick one, maybe two of the activities for use. I'd recommend starting with a Fun Game to warm-up, then one or two of the activities depending on the time available.

Finally if you would like to give a little bit of goalkeeper training:

Again one or two activities per session is lots at the recreational level. There are one or two more documents I will make available over the next couple of weeks - the information is not meant to intimidate but to facilitate your enjoyment of coaching by giving you some readily available tools for your use.
