Hosting Information

Procedure for Hosting a PA West State Coaching Course:
A PA West Soccer District or Club organization wishing to host a State Coaching Education course will need to assign a site coordinator who will be the liaison between the hosting organization and the Director of Coaching Development.
The responsibilities of the site coordinator will include:

1. Contact the PA West Soccer Director of Coaching and Player Development to establish a date and times for the course.  This should be done well in advance of the course commencement. 
2. Arrange adequate facilities.  The facilities should include a large classroom with blackboard and TV/VCR and a regulation soccer field with goals.  Access to a gymnasium would be necessary for inclement weather and during the winter months.  Please indicate equipment, if any, that will be available during the course.
3. Publicize the course and notify participants of the date, time and location.  The State Office will provide support in publicizing coaching courses if adequate notice is provided.
4. Confirm the attendance for the course by contacting the State Office five (5) days prior to the start of the course.
