Why be a Youth Soccer Coach?
Simply put: Without our volunteer coaches, Frenchtown cannot have any competitive or recreational league soccer teams under the Montana Youth Soccer Association and affiliate of U.S. Youth Soccer.
Coaching for Teams of FC Frenchtown
Whether you are an experienced coach or just have some knowledge of soccer, FC Frenchtown always welcomes your expertise to help build our youth to the next level of soccer.
FC Frenchtown is a non-profit organization that was established in 2018 by Frenchtown Community volunteers. The goal of FC Frenchtown is to better our youth to the next level of play in competitive and recreational soccer. One approach that is used to cater to Frenchtown youth and their families is practice locations at Frenchtown and lower player fees. In order to keep these player fees down, we gather sponsorships, participate in fundraising, and ask for volunteers to fill board positions, committees, team managers, coaches, ad referees.
You will be a leader for our community youth; providing a safe environment in which youth learn and develop soccer skills. You will teach leadership, followership, and team skills - skills that are essential for our youth as they become young adults.
Coaching is a rewarding experience for not only you, but for the youth that you coach!
The Team
Currently coaches are needed for youth Grades K - 6, Middle School (Grades 6-8) and High School (Grades 9-12) age teams. Each team will have a primary and assistant coach. The teams may or may not be co-ed, depending on registrations. Each team may have up to 22 players rostered. Each game is allowed to have 18 youth rostered. Recreational teams will be built on age based requirements.
Training
Coaching soccer brings many challenges and FC Frenchtown can help you learn more about coaching our dynamic youth. We do strive to educate our coaches to the best of our ability using web resources and on-site training provided by Montana Youth Soccer Association.
With the help of coaching education, we promise that you will become an essential part of providing an excellent experience for your players/team and developing them as soccer players.
