GotSoccer

Preseason:  Once you have been cleared by Risk Management to coach, you will be given a Coach Account AND a Team Account. Check with your coordinator for login information. Your Team Account allows you to communicate with your players with the ease of group emails.  It is the coach's responsibility to see that players are registered  during the Registration period. (prior to the Late Registration period. Emails and phone calls are necessary to assure that your players have all registered before they can be placed on your team.  Traveling Rec teams should update player information and photographs for Player Passes as soon as possible.

Midseason: You may use GotSoccer to view your schedule, print your rosters, and confirm any game changes. Your coordinator may post scores and League Standings in the Divisions U10 and up.

Postseason: As you near the end of your season, you may view your teams claim on Day of Champions bids.  You should also take note of players who are returning for the following season to prepare them to register EARLY to avoid late charges and to guarantee their spot on the team.

Security:  GotSoccer operates with the use of unique secure passwords, restricted access, and encrypted data entry.

 

Coach Education

A free education program helps coaches new to soccer to get an idea of what they should be doing during practice sessions. Experienced coaches also will benefit by getting some new ideas. As coaches, we should never stop learning.
 ESC staff coaches will conduct training sessions with players for coaches to observe, ask questions, etc. There will be a session handout for the coaches to follow along.The ESC Coaches Education program is a series of four sessions to be held on Mondays during the Center of Excellence.

Training sessions will be conducted Mondays from 6:30 to 7:30 at the Complex. (schedule)
