COACHING EDUCATION
#ThisCoachCares
DC Soccer Club values the importance of having top coaches! Great coaches care about their players and want:
...their players to learn the game, develop as people, and have fun, and
...to help their players achieve their soccer-related goals while having fun and connecting with the players as only coaches do.
Successful coaches care about their players and want to create a positive environment that fosters personal growth. For some this comes naturally, while others may need a bit of help. DC Soccer Club provides free and flexible Coaching Education Opportunities:
1. Onsite help available at your practice sessions
2. In-Person coach education courses
3. Online courses
