WHO CAN BE A COACH?
Anyone can be a coach!
DO I NEED ANY SOCCER KNOWLEDGE?
We provide practice plans & a hands on coaches clinic hosted by Illinois Futbol Club for all coaches every season.
WHAT IS THE TIME COMMITMENT?
Kindergarten coaches will coach 30 minutes on Saturdays and supervise a 30 minutes scrimmage immediately afterwards. For grades 1st-6th you must host 1 hour long practice a week on Tuesday or Thursday evenings after 5:15pm. Coaches are asked their preference on their day of the week & timeslot before schedules are made. Games are hosted on Saturdays between 9:00am-2pm. Games run roughly 1 hour long for all age groups. 7-8th grade programs run 2 practices a week, both on Tuesday & Thursday evenings.
