Are the players on your team connected or do they separate and not mix in
How welcoming are they to new players coming in to train
Do your players train hard?- lead by example
Do any of your players drive others? -Lead others
Do any of your player train with the teams at the lower level also – Cross-Cultural Leadership

17. Evaluating team success Desire to develop
Do your players train with intensity and competitiveness
Do they start training when they get their – self motivated
Are they self aware of where they are on the team?
Do they keep score in all practice competitions?
Do they train with any player or only specific ones

18. Evaluating team success Team
Does your team display comfort in possession of the ball
Do they pass the ball in all directions
Are they comfortable enough to build up play or do they play direct
Do they play out and around the back line with confidence
Do they get back players into attack
Do they transition and win the ball back quickly?

40-45 minutes coach reviews starting line up based on player readiness and talks individually and briefly

22. Game Expectations
I Expect all teams to go through this check list when we are wining to create positive game habits in preparation for the next game
What we practice makes permanent and not perfect, so how we win and lose is just as important as how we practice and play
We must win games because we are the better team and not just because we have more effective players
At CC United for the development of the players in our community every game presents us with an opportunity to
Work on the quality of our defending if our opponent is stronger than us
Work on our attacking if we are stronger than our opponent
Games will be considered lost if, as a team we either quit when we were down or simply kept on scoring
U9/10
Can we play 3 touch
Each time the ball goes out of bounds we must find the keeper
Forward stays in opponents half and we must pass in before we go in
U11 plus
Can we play 2 touch
The fullbacks must overlap the outside midfielder each time they get the ball
The forwards play 1 touch
3 touch in your half and one touch in the opposing half
Both wide midfielders have to touch the ball in the opposing half

23. Coach Expectations Game To allow the players to play the game
To evaluate performance of training at all games
To do more player education on the sidelines
To use the goals and objectives to determine success
To use specific and limited moments to coach players on the field that allows the players to lead the game
If the score runs the risk of being high to use game conditions to prepare the team for higher level teams
To sit and Enjoy watching what you team has achieved

24. Coach Expectations on conduct
Never question a referee in a negative manner. 
All referee conversations should happen during play breaks and in a civil manner.
Never engage with a parent verbally or physically
Never allow get into a verbal or physical altercation with opposing coach
Always treat players with respect
Act as a teacher not a dictator- ask the referee

Age Group
Summary U9
Team Shape introduction
An introduction to risk taking
Develop a more competitive approach to practice
Develop a comfort passing in all directions
Develop basic passing technique
Develop comfort on the ball
Establish a pool of players in A B or C
At U9/10 it is vital that we are successful playing a certain way and that we don’t succumb to result searching. Our formation restricts us from being direct and forces us to play through the team
It is vital that when we are the dominant team that we have condition our game to develop, rather than get more goals. These conditions say don’t score but require individuals to think more and the team to work. This gets us ready for the next level
At U9 we are usually not so competitive as our players are intimidated by coaches who yell. Our coaches will not yell and at the expense of a goal or a win they will encourage our players to make mistakes and train them to take risks. This will both increase individual player development, the teams ability to create chances and reduce chances for the opponents making us stronger

At U11 we need a parent and coach re-Check for competitiveness, At this age we are usually strong but it is vital that we go through our goals and objectives in preparation for the following year when we compete against stronger and often recruited competition
