Coaching at TYSA

Coaching at TYSA is one of the most rewarding experiences a parent can have. There isn’t a better way to spend some quality time with your child and their friends while introducing the game of soccer to younger generation!

Here at TYSA, we have an excellent staff of professional and recreational coaches. All coaches receive ample opportunities to increase their level of knowledge of the game of soccer as well as coaching principles. If you are considering coaching, but are unsure that you have the necessary skills, please register to coach! Our staff works very diligently to provide practice design, soccer drills and equipment necessary to conduct engaging and beneficial practices while making the games exciting!

If you are a person that enjoys soccer and are looking for a chance to network within the community, consider coaching with TYSA. We are a group of community-centered parents focused on improving our children’s understanding and skills of the game of soccer. Our association works very hard to facilitate a family atmosphere and foster friendly competition while maintaining good sportsmanship.

So, what is the commitment? Practices for our U14-U19 divisions occur twice per week and once per week for our U8 thru U12 divisions (with an option for a second practice as field space permits). These practices take place at Henderson Park. The days for the practices are directed by your schedule. Most games are scheduled on Saturdays with the possibility of an occasional Sunday if make-ups are necessary. The U6 teams practice on Saturdays, 30 minutes prior to each game. The Fall Season runs from late-August thru early-November. Spring is late-February thru early May.

Assistant Coaching at TYSA

Maybe you have circumstances that limit your ability to commit to being a full-time coach.

So, what is the commitment for assistant coaches? Every great coach has an assistant coach and team of parents there to back them up. As the Assistant, your primary responsibility is to help the coach run practices, keeping the players focused, and keeping the players engaged on game day! Occasionally, you may be called to run a practice when the coach is unavailable.
