Coaching expectations for our AC teams:

• We grade coaches in the following criteria :
• • Playing experience
  • Coaching experience
  • Coaching qualifications
  • Other related qualifications and experience
• Number of Practices :
• • Tier 2 teams practice 2-3 times a week for an average of 11 months, with breaks throughout the season to make sure players do not burn-out. Team training is also off-set with squad training.
  • Tier 3 & 4 teams practice 1-2 times a week for an average of 9 months throughout the year with scheduled breaks.
• Playing time expectations:
• • There is zero playing time guaranteed at any of our AC teams, it is generally based on the following :
  • • Attendance, attitude, ability of player and team needs
    • Most of our players (at all levels and age groups) are multi-sport athletes, which we support. It is expected that at the older tier 2 age groups, that soccer be the first priority in sports.
