Football Coaches Needed

Football Coaches Needed!

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Thank you for putting forward your child’s interest in playing Football (Soccer) for Woodstock School this year. We have had 37 players put their names down wanting to play Football, but, at this stage we are unable to register any teams as we have no volunteers to coach these teams.

Thank you very much to the two parents who kindly volunteered to take up the responsibility of Manager to keep our Woodstock Soccer teams going! Unless we are able to secure volunteers for Coaches and Managers, we will be unable to register teams and therefore the children will not be able to play for Woodstock School and will have to register with another Hamilton Club.

Role of Coaches and Managers:

Coaches and Managers coordinate together to run weekly practices (skill building) and weekend games. Team Managers usually do more organisational tasks such as informing the players of game times and venues, and supporting the Coach where needed.

Coaching Courses:

The Waikato Football Federation runs many coaching courses leading up to the Football Season.

This ‘Intro to Coaching Course’ run by Sport Waikato on this website is free of charge.

Note: Once coaches are confirmed, we will also organise a Coaching Session which will be held at School. This will provide all Coaches and Managers with some tips and/or new ideas.

We also have information pamphlets and game ideas that you can use to help you in preparing for the coaching. Please contact us if you would like a copy.

If you would be willing to take up the role of coach or manager for your child’s team OR you know of someone else who may be willing, please fill out the form below and return to the school office by Friday 21^st March. Your child and the school would be extremely grateful and we will provide as much support and assistance as possible. Please feel free to contact us with any queries via email: leighp@woodstock.school.nz.

Kind regards,

Leigh Phipps and Kirsty Cathcart (Soccer Coordinators)
