Coaches and Team Managers:

I would like to thank everyone who came to the National Certification Module Sunday. Jeremy Avent from SCYSA did an exceptional job and everyone involved benefited from the experience. South Carolina Youth Soccer requires every coach be certified and this Module III covers them through U-12. A one year grace period covers new coaches, see below. A special thanks to Ed Fitch, WSC President and Calvin Bailey, WSC VP for their attendance. Thank you all for your continued dedication to youth soccer in Walterboro. I will update our site with future dates and locations for certification courses / modules.

Coaches and Team Managers:

As the new director of coaches I would like to welcome you all to Wildfire Soccer and thank you for your hard work and dedication. Our fall season is off to a good start. Micro teams U-6 and U-8 have had a few games and Saturday opened our travel teams season.

Walterboro Soccer Club is a developmental soccer club focusing on teaching basic fundamental skills of soccer, teamwork and good sportsmanship above all. As coaches it is our responsibility to help each player work to his or her greatest potential. Basic skills of passing, trapping and shooting should be worked in to every practice. Soccer is a team sport and every position is important. Players should know that when a goal is scored the TEAM scored a goal and when a goal is allowed the TEAM allowed a goal to score. It is our job as coaches to keep the team positive and take mental notes during a game of areas to work on at practice. Players should have equal playing time in every game as much as possible. Praise a player’s hard work, good effort, hustle and even good attitude. Push them to do better, correct them when wrong but do it in a positive way.

Again I thank you all for your efforts and look forward to a great season of soccer.
