Fall Coaching Clinics are a Huge Success!!!

Last night was the final coaching clinic for the Fall of 2010. Over the course of August we conducted over 30 clinics. The PYSA coaching education staff worked with over 500 coaches during the various clinics.

the clinics covered topics such as Age Appropriate Training, Introduction to Goalkeeping, and Transitioning from 4v4 to 6v6, 6v6 to 8v8, and 8v8 to 11v11. We have received some very positive feedback from the coaches who attended the clinics.

As we move in to September I want to remind all of our coaches that I am available to come out and work with you and your teams during the Fall season. Just email me at technicaldirector@portlandyouthsoccer.com so that we can find a day and time that works for both of us.

If you coach in the U11 - U14 age groups don't forget to register for the Inaugural PYSA Fall League Cup!!!

See you on the fields!
