Coaches Corner
Welcome to the Coaches Corner at Tri-City Soccer! Our community extends a heartfelt thank you to all the coaches who dedicate their time and passion to our players and the sport we love. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or just starting out on your coaching journey, your support and commitment are invaluable to our organization and the development of our athletes.
​
Here at TCSA, we understand that coaching comes with its own set of challenges and rewards. That's why we've curated a wealth of resources and information to assist coaches at every level. Our goal is to ensure that all coaches have the tools they need to be effective mentors while also fostering an environment where fun and enjoyment are paramount.
So, dive into the resources provided, and let's continue to inspire and empower our players through the beautiful game of soccer.
Playmetrics &
requirements for coaches
We're very excited to be utilizing PlayMetrics, a new management platform, for F24. Because Colorado Soccer Association (CSA) is also using PlayMetrics, verifying the coaching requirements should be much simpler than in the past. It also provides you with a communication portal with your players and parents, a practice planning tool, resources like schedules at your fingertips, and more. Spending a little bit of time familiarizing yourself with PlayMetrics will save you time down the road.
Before you can get started, you need to receive an email with an invitation to log in as a coach to PlayMetrics from the League Coordinator. You may already have a personal account. You will be able to toggle between your personal account and your coaching account in the same screen.
​
Here are some useful guides from PlayMetrics:
First time users will create a login. Complete the SafeSport section and the Introduction to Safe and Healthy Playing Environments. The Introduction to Safe and Healthy Playing Environments meets the Concussion Training requirement. You will be asked to enter your email address used as your login for U.S. Soccer Learning Center in PlayMetrics to verify completion.
Coaching One Pagers
We believe that coaching is the backbone of our community soccer program. That's why Tri-City Soccer provides all our coaches with one pager coaching handouts, which contain valuable information on age-appropriate competencies, skills, and drills. Below, you will find these one pagers, which suggest how to structure practices to make the most of your team's time on the field. The one pagers also provide suggestions for games and drills that can help your team develop into strong players.
