Coach Expectations

FWMSC coaches will sign and abide by our Coach Code of Ethics at all times. Coaches will provide a safe and positive learning environment for all Players. Coaches will maintain a professional appearance and arrive in a timely fashion for all games and practice sessions. Coaches will understand that they are role models for players and, therefore, will display appropriate behavior and use appropriate language around players and families at all times.

Coach Code of Ethics

Coaching Responsibilities

1. Attend a preseason coaches meeting. Collect information, uniforms, and equipment.
   (This is usually 1-2 hours of your time to be run by FWMSC BOD.)
2. Contact your team. Hand out uniforms and schedule.
3. Conduct one or two practices a week:

• Tech Training Night - Each season, a night will be selected for you and your team
  (roughly 1 hour long.) The FWFC Youth Development Director will provide the session plan.
• (Optional) Team Practice - Coaches can opt to have an additional practice for his/her
  team each week to work on skills. Check out our Coaching Resources for help on the field.

1. Coach on game day. Arrive 20-30 min before game time. During the game, rotate/substitute players consistently.
2. Maintain communication with the Club and Parents throughout the season. Notify all participants about game/practice cancellations and any equipment/field/participant troubles.

FWMSC staff/volunteers must Register in Affinity for a background check before actively participating
