Coaching Philosophy (PYSA)

The coaching philosophy of Pentucket Youth soccer (PYSA) is to promote fun, sportsmanship, and development of soccer skills in a team environment. Thank you for your commitment and please use the following as a guideline.

Coaches serve as role models both for the children and their parents.
Let us teach our children respect for authority, courtesy and to play the game with dignity and good sportsmanship. Focus the practices on having fun while learning the game. We all know endless drills while important without scrimmaging or game simulation make for a long practice session. Be tolerant of mistakes in both practice and game time focusing on learning from those mistakes. During the games each child should play a minimum of 1/2 the game and should learn the game from as many positions as their comfort level allows. At the end of the game congratulate the other team and thank the referees for their participation. Coaching can be a rewarding experience and plays a vital role in PYSA.
