The Macon Soccer Club's rec program is a community focused program where the focus is on having fun, and learning the fundamentals of the game. Our rec program relies on volunteers to coach our teams and to provide the sort of environment where children and love for the game can thrive. To that end, we ask that our volunteer coaches ensure equal playing time for all players and focus less on winning matches and more on the develop of the children and the team. To that end, we ask that our coaches run practice sessions that minimize standing in line and follow instead a play-practice-play approach. Through play-practice-play, soccer skills are learned in game play environments where standing in line behind cones to execute a skill does not occur. Rather, players engage in game-link scenarios where such things as proper passing, shooting, and dribbling technics are taught on the fly. Such an approach keeps children active, engaged, and enables them to learn skills in realistic situations.
Coaching Resources:
To meet these goals, Macon Soccer Club has available a number of coaching resources, including written practice plans available on the playmetrics app. Rec Directors are always available to answer coaching questions and to assist coaches who may not be experienced or may be struggling for practice ideas. Additionally, on August 28 there will be a Coaches Meeting and Training Session, where Club leadership will not only discuss the Rec Coaching philosophy, but will also run demonstrative practice sessions for coaches to utilize and implement.
Coaching Incentives:
Beginning in Fall 2024, the Club is also implementing a two tier coaching compensation system offering a $10 discount if you sign up to be a coach in the Macon Soccer Rec Program. Also, if you attend out August 28 Coaches Meeting and Training Session you will get an additional $20 discount in recognition of not just your services, but your commitment to our Coaching Philosophy. Finally, coaches will be able to choose their practice night, though this is only while slots are available, so Sign up today to ensure you get to pick the night that you want.
