Coaching Registration
All head coaches will receive one free player registration. If you are a head coach for NCSC your child will play for free!
After completing the season, NCSC will reimburse your child’s registration fee. This applies only to head coaches.
If you are interested in coaching use the registration link below and complete the required background check. All coaches for North Clackamas Soccer are required to complete a background check.
Please complete ASAP as these can take up to 2 weeks to complete.
*Beginning 2024, all teams will be required to have an assistant coach or team parent that has completed SafeSport and a background check.
Coach Training & Support
We are always looking for ways to support our coaches and provide them with more information! Here is a list of additional websites with practice ideas and drills:
COACH CONDUCT
- Spectators are to be on the opposite side of the field from the players.
- Coaches are to be on their own half of the field and on the side opposite the spectators.
- Always respect the referees. These are generally someone’s child and how would you want other people to treat your child if they were the referee.
- Abide by the rules/directives of the soccer club, the Soccer-5 League, US Club Soccer, OYSA, the USSF, and IFAB.
- Follow the rules of the league.
- Follow the rules at every venue.
- Do not argue with the officials and treat them with respect. These are generally children under age 18. How would you want your children treated if they were refereeing a game?
- Hold one or two practices a week and be punctual to all practices and games.
- Be humble in victory and gracious in defeat. Congratulate your opponent and extend thanks to the game officials after the competition, whether you win or lose.
- Be a positive example to your players and their parents.
- Encourage safe, competitive, fair play, and reward improvement and effort, regardless of skill.
- Teach the players to respect themselves, the opponent, the referee, their teammates, and the coaching staff.
- Teach the players sportsmanship and proper on-field conduct.
- Provide a fun and safe environment for the players.
- Teach progressive improvements in technical proficiency and tactical knowledge while promoting self-esteem in all players.
- Instruct parents in proper behavior at games, including sideline respect for the referee, the other team, and all coaches.
- Do not question the calls made by the referees – they are not reviewable and cannot be overturned.
- Do not criticize players on your team or players on the opposing team.
- Do not recruit players for the purpose of establishing an elite team.
- Do not leave practices or games until all players have been picked up by their parents or another authorized adult.
- Do not teach unsafe or unsporting methods to the players.
- Do not teach demeaning songs or chants to the players.
- Do not use verbal or physically intimidating behavior, including vulgar, improper, foul, demeaning and/or abusive language.
- Do not seek an advantage beyond superior skill, tactics, and fitness.
- Remain on your half of the field, on the side opposite the spectators.
