 Hello and welcome to my
first issue of the "Coaches
Corner".
As the Technical Director for the Arlington Soccer
Association, I will be putting together this information
and sending it to you. I hope to pass along
items that will help you coach your team, inform you of
current events and notify you of important developments
in the game of soccer.
I am very excited about coming on board with the
ASA. From my meetings with the board, and
speaking with many involved in the ASA, I see a well-run
organization that provides excellent soccer
opportunities for all children. I look forward to
helping the ASA continue that mission.
My primary responsibilities with the ASA will be
focused on:
- Coaching Education Programs -
formal certification programs; informal on-going
clinics; meetings and training sessions.
Support to any coach who needs assistance on
how to best run his/her team.
- Player Development Programs -
programs for players of all ages and abilities
which compliment the work coaches are doing with
their players.
- Parent Education Programs -
assisting parents of youth soccer players to learn
about this wonderful game and to better
understand soccer's skills, strategies and unique
characteristics.
- Technical Soccer Advice -
providing technical soccer assistance to all ASA
programs.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions,
concerns or comments you may have. I am here to
support your efforts. With the 2007 Fall season
right around the corner, I look forward to seeing you
and your team on the field very soon.
Yours in Soccer,

All age groups! All
kids! Fun and free!

Arlington County Department of Parks, Recreation, and
Cultural Resources and the Arlington Soccer Association

Summer Soccer
is "organized fun" for the players. The
supervisors will set up fields, organize the players -
and then let the players play! Sorry
coaches, this is not a time for you to train your
players.
Summer Soccer is open

play. It is not limited to players
who have played on teams before.
And it's
