Season-long professional training continues to come to Stoughton Youth Soccer for the Spring 2013.  Stoughton Youth Soccer has partnered with Mass Youth Soccer to improve the quality of play and coaching throughout the entire league.  During the course of the 8 week season, the Mass Youth Soccer coaches will be working with all of our teams.  The Mass Youth Soccer coaches will be providing practice plans to our coaches and will be assisting our coaches in running the practices.  The coach will also rotate amongst teams in order to offer assistance to coaches.

In addition to group practices, coaches are encouraged to hold a second practice to re-enforce the ideas learned in the group practice, and to further work on player development.

Group Clinic/Practices

In order to best utilize the Mass Youth partnership, group practices will be held for all age groups except for the U5 division.

The U5 division will continue to have their skills session and game during their scheduled weekend division time.   The division coordinator will be in attendance to assist with the skill sessions and the game play.  U5 coaches are also encouraged to attend group practices for other divisions in order to shadow the coaches and further educate themselves in the process of running a successful practice session.

All group practices scheduled with the Mass Youth Soccer coach will take place at the Kolz Soccer Fields on West St.  Coaches should arrive 15 minutes before their scheduled practice time in order to setup their practice session and review drills with MYS trainers. U5-U8 coaches that wish to hold an additional practice must use one of the town fields for which SYSL  has a permit. Please refer to the coaches packet for this information.
