Welcome to the LHYSA Coaching Staff!

The Board of Directors congratulates you on your willingness to accept the important responsibility of serving as a volunteer coach. We are confident you will find it to be an immensely rewarding experience.

Our goal is to provide you with the tools you need to help you be successfull. First, become familiar with the Coaching Manual and plan to attend the Coaching Orientation from 8:30 to 11 a.m. Saturday, March 1 at Sundance Fields. Your attendance is required.     

LHYSA has adopted FIFA's Laws of the Game as the basis for all play. Coaches are expected to learn the rules of the game, and can start by reading the section in the LHYSA Coaching Manual entitled "Mechanics of the Game." Also read the Handbook for Small Sided Games, a guide to the rules as modified for young players. The Handbook is provided to all LHYSA coaches, and may be purchased at the Concession Stand each Saturday.   

Coaches are encouraged to seek additional information and instructional tools to assist you in planning practice sessions and developing game strategy. Below are some LHYSA recommended links to online resources.
