Upward Soccer Coach Training

What we will cover at this training Primary responsibilities of an Upward Soccer Coach The basics of soccer practices Coach resources to assist you in conducting practices How to conduct mid-practice devotions The basics of soccer game days Rules unique to Upward Soccer Understanding the substitution system Player recognition through game day stars

The 360 Coach As an Upward Soccer Coach, you have the important responsibility of developing your young athletes in their personal growth mentally, athletically, spiritually and socially. This unique approach is called the 360 Progression™ and is based on Luke 2:52 – “And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man.”

The 360 Coach Mentally – Making Wise Decisions By learning the rules of the game, young athletes are able to make wise decisions on the field. A 360 Coach knows how to teach the game in a way that young athletes can understand. Athletically – Improving Physical Ability One of the main reasons parents register their young athlete to play is to improve their physical ability. A 360 Coach knows how to build athletic foundations through drills that enhance skill development.

The 360 Coach Spiritually – Embracing Life’s Purpose The mission of Upward Sports is to promote the discovery of Jesus through sports. This mission is carried out by the 360 Coach, as you introduce life’s true purpose through intentional character lessons throughout the season while leading to an introduction of the Gospel message. Socially – Fostering Healthy Relationships An important part of growing as an athlete is connecting with teammates. As they enjoy time with others, they are building healthy relationships. As a 360 Coach, you should be a catalyst in encouraging this connection because it builds a socially healthy team.

360 Coaching Keys 1. Teach the game through drills – The ability to execute proper drills enhances skill level and improves athletic foundations. Your practices should utilize drills that enhance skill development. 2. Teach the rules of soccer – For the players to grow in the sport they must understand and apply the rules of the game. Take time to explain rules and why they are important.

360 Coaching Keys (continued) 3. Instill sportsmanship with a competitive spirit – In sports, winning and losing are a part of the game, just as it is for life. Knowing how to handle both in a positive way builds character in young athletes. Teach your players to play hard and play to win, but also teach them to put others before themselves with a positive attitude and sportsmanship. 4. Communicate effectively – In order to teach the rules, explain drills and teach sportsmanship, you have to be an effective communicator. Likewise, good communication and organization are crucial in keeping parents informed throughout the season. This includes keeping them up to date on practice and game times and having a plan in place each and every practice.

The Coach App Coaching made simple! The Upward Soccer Coach App provides you a quick, paperless way to coordinate key coaching responsibilities for both practices and games. With the Coach App you’ll be able to: Manage player/guardian information View practice plans Substitute players on game day Assign and track star distribution for each game The Coach App is available on iPhone (iPad compatible) and Android phones

Practice Breakdown 1. Pre-Practice Huddle (3-5 minutes) – Cover specific soccer rules and the basics of soccer. Teach and review proper techniques for each skill needed for practice drills. 2. Warm-up Activity (3-5 minutes) – Provide players the opportunity to practice individually and slowly warm up their muscles. 3. Practice skills through drills (20 minutes) – Use drills that reinforce skill development. Focus on only one to two skills per practice.

Practice Breakdown (Continued) 4. Mid-practice huddle (5-7 minutes) – Share the practice-specific devotion for each week. 5. Scrimmage or games that teach (20 minutes) – Guide players in using the skills they are learning through scrimmaging. 6. Post-practice huddle (5 minutes) – Distribute practice cards and make any necessary announcements. After practice is a great time to engage in conversation with parents.

Coach Playbook The coach playbook has been provided for you to use in the following areas: Suggested skills to teach with a detailed description of how to properly perform each skill. Introductory drills to help develop player’s soccer skills. Devotions to share at each practice. Sticker stars to be distributed to players at practices and games.

Online Coach Resource (MyUpward.org) The coach resources of MyUpward.org contain everything you need to be a successful Upward Soccer Coach, including: Skills and Drills Weekly practice devotions Rules unique to Upward Soccer Substitutions Upward Soccer Stars – Game day recognition

The Coach’s Sideline The Coach’s Sideline is a complete practice guide that is customized to the age division that you coach. In it you will find pre-practice huddle topics, warm-up activities, skills focus, skills/drills as well as the specific practice devotion. These practice plans are available at: MyUpward.org

Mid-Practice Huddle At the midpoint of every practice, you will lead a five- to eight-minute devotion during the mid-practice huddle time. The devotions teach on the character of Christ through the virtues he modeled. This season will focus on three virtues. Each virtue will be the focus of three practices and are highlighted by one verse. Let’s take a look at the virtues and verses:

Last Practice of the Season Practice Number Virtue Verse Week 1 None (“Get to Know You” time) None (Scripture learning begins at Practice 2) Weeks 2-4 Knowledge The Lord gives wisdom. Knowledge and understanding come from his mouth. Proverbs 2:6 (NIrV) Weeks 5-7 Respect Show proper respect to everyone. 1 Peter 2:17 (a) (NIrV) Weeks 8-10 Faith Faith is being sure of what we hope for. It is being certain of what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1 (NIrV) Last Practice of the Season Virtue Review/Big Story Preview Built around John 3:16, this devotion reviews the season’s virtues while setting up a gospel presentation at the awards celebration through the Big Story DVD. This devotion comes standard in your coach resources. Scripted Gospel Presentation Built around John 3:16, this supplemental devotion delivers a full gospel presentation through the coach at the last practice. To use this devotion in place of the standard devotion mentioned above, go to MyUpward.org and enter “Soccer Gospel Presentation in the search field.

Mid-Practice Huddle All Scripture verses for the season will be made available to players through practice cards. Devotion guides are found in your coach playbook as well as on MyUpward.org. It is important to prepare for each week’s devotion prior to practice. On page 32 of your coach training guide is the first practice devotion. If you do not receive your coach playbook by your first practice, follow this guide during your first mid-practice huddle.

Last Practice Devotion During the last practice of the season, you will share a special devotion with your players that reviews the season’s virtues while sharing more about Christ in preparation for the awards celebration. No matter when your last practice occurs, make sure to skip to this last devotion in your coach playbook.

Practice Cards Each player will receive a practice card at the end of Practices 2, 5, 8 and the last practice. Each card contains the Scripture verse being learned for the current practice plus the next two practices. Through these practice cards, players will be able to learn the Scripture verses away from practices and will be familiar with them when they return to the next practice.

Green Practice Stars Green sticker stars known as practice stars are found in the back portion of your coach playbook. These stars are distributed to each player at practice for participating in learning the Scripture verse. Players are not required to memorize the verse individually to receive a star. Players will display these stars on their award poster along with the game day stars they receive. *Note: The green practice stars should not be confused with the multi-colored game day stars, which are awarded at the end of each game.

Rules Unique to Upward Soccer Game Format Referees lead both teams in prayer at midfield before the game. Referees will call and explain all violations. The coaches should determine which team will start the game. The other team will start the second half. Games consist of two 18 minute halves, one minute for substitutions and an eight minute halftime. The game clock is maintained by the referee and will only stop every 6 minutes for the predetermined substitutions. Teams will switch goals at halftime (except in the K5 division).

Game Format (Continued) Scores are not kept in K5 and 1st-2nd grade divisions. No division standings are maintained in any division. Coaches are allowed to walk the sidelines to support players. Coaches are encouraged to be on the field with K5 players to help coach during games. All coaches will adhere to the substitution rules as detailed in your coach training guide. No yellow cards or red cards are used in Upward Soccer. There is no extended time in Upward Soccer.

Field of Play Dimensions: The field should have a width of 60’ and a length of 100’ Field Markings: The field of play should be marked with two touch lines, two goal lines and divided into two equal sections by the midfield line and a center circle. Goal Area: Each goal area will be a 6’ arc (semi-circle) directly in front of each goal. Penalty Area: There will be no penalty area marked off. Flag posts: Placed at each of the four corners of the field. Typically 60” high with a 13” x 13” flag, flexible pole on a spring base. Corner Arc: Corner arcs will be a quarter circles with a radius of 3’ Goal Size: The goals are 2.5’ x 6’ (4’ x 6’ goal tipped)

Field of Play

Number of Players Team Size: Eight is the maximum number of players per team. Team Format: 4v4 No Goalkeeper: Because of the goal arc and the size of the goal there is no need for a goalkeeper. This facet of the format is meant to give all players an active role as field players. Players should not be positioned in front of the goal arc to act as a goal keeper and not be an active part of the game. As a compromise, coaches may position a player around midfield to play as a defender. Additional Players: One additional player may be added to the field of play by a team that is four goals behind. The additional player may remain on the field until the score differential is two goals.

The Ball and Game Duration K5-2nd Grades: Size 3 3rd – 6th Grades: Size 4 Game Duration Periods of Play – The game will consist of two 18-minute halves with each half being divided into three 6-minute periods for 1st-6th grades. K5 will play two 18-minute halves being divided in six 3-minute segments. Halftime– Halftime will be an eight-minute interval between the two 18-minute halves. Game Clock– The game clock will be maintained by the referee.

Rules for Upward Soccer A kick-off begins each half and after a goal has been scored. Opposing players must remain outside the center circle or 4 yards away until the ball has been put in play. The team in possession of the ball at the end of the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th six-minute period retains possession of the ball. The team with possession of the ball will start the next six minute period with a throw-in at the closest point on the sideline when play was stopped. The team that did not start the game with the kick-off will begin the second half of the game with a kick-off. Shooting Arc: There is no ball contact allowed within the shooting arc. If the ball comes to a stop within the arc, a goal kick is awarded to the defensive team regardless of who touched the ball last. If the ball has broken the plane of the shooting arc and a defensive player touches the ball, but the referee determines that the ball would NOT have gone in the goal, a corner kick is awarded to the attacking team. If the attacking player touches the ball inside the arc, a goal kick is awarded to the defensive team.

Rules for Upward Soccer Fouls will result in either an indirect or direct kick. Opposing players must be 5 yards away from the ball. Indirect Kick: A player other than the kicker must touch the ball before a goal can be scored. Direct Kick: The kicker may score directly without another player touching the ball. Indirect Kicks – Awarded to the opposing team if one of these fouls is committed: Dangerous play Obstructing an opponent Delay of Game Direct Kicks – Awarded to the opposing team if one of these fouls is committed: Tripping an opponent Holding an opponent Any unsportsmanlike conduct Slide tackling or any contact with the ball while the player is on the ground Handling the ball Kicking an opponent Hitting an opponent Pushing an opponent

Rules for Upward Soccer (Continued) A penalty kick is awarded for deliberate handling/kicking of the ball inside the goal arc that denies the opposing team a goal or obvious goal-scoring opportunity. A goal is not scored if a player kicks or throws the ball into his or her own goal. A corner kick is awarded for the opposing team. This removes the possibility of a player scoring for the other team and prevents further embarrassing a player for making this mistake. A goal may only be scored from a player’s offensive end of the field. This prohibits a player from scoring a goal on a kick-off or from a goal kick.

Rules for Upward Soccer (Continued) Offside is not called in Upward Soccer because of the field size and the number player on the field. Slide Tackling is not allowed in Upward Soccer. Players who commit two fouls resulting in direct kicks, excluding handballs, in the same 6-minute segment must sit out the remainder of that segment.

Re-Starts Kick-offs: A kick-off is taken from the center circle at the start of each half and after a goal is scored. Kicks must forward, toward the defending goal. The ball must touch an attacking player or defensive player before the initial kicker touches the ball again. A goal may not be scored on a kick-off. Out-of-bounds: The entire ball must go out-of-bounds to be out of play. If part of the ball is still touching the line, play continues uninterrupted. Corner Kicks: When the ball passes over the goal line after being last touched by the defensive team. The ball is placed inside the corner arc on the side of the field where it went out-of-bounds.

Re-Starts (Continued) Goal Kicks: When the ball passes over the goal line after being last touched by the attacking team or if the ball comes to a stop within the goal arc. The ball is placed on the goal line, 5 yards from the goal arc on the side of the field where it went out-of-bounds Throw-ins: When the ball passes over the sidelines, the team to touch it last loses possession and the opposing team takes a throw-in. Drop-Ball: A drop-ball will occur between two players; one from each team to restart the game after the official had to stop play for a no-penalty situation.

Substitutions This substitution system is designed to provide every player an equal opportunity for improvement. The substitution system ensures that: Every child will play at least half of the game. No child will sit out more than six minutes at a time. The starting lineup shifts down one player every game allowing every child to be in the starting lineup. Coaches are not open to making unfair substitutions. Coaches are free from monitoring playing time for each player. Playing time for all players is virtually even over the course of the season.

Filling Out the Substitution Form Week 1 Step 4 – Continue this process for the remainder of the segments Step 1 – Rank players by ability starting with slot “A”. This player ranking order should not change at any point during your season. Player’s Name First Half Second Half Name 18 Min 12 Min 6 Min 18 Min 12 Min 6 Min A Gabrielle X X X X B Rachel X X X X Step 2 – For Week 1, begin with Player “A” and work down the column (A-D). These are your starting four. C Emily X X X X D Madison X X X E Samantha X X X F Ashley X X X G Grace X X X Step 3 – Begin the rotation where you left off in the previous segment. If you are at the bottom of your list, be sure to go back to the top until you have four players in the segment. H

Filling Out the Substitution Form Week 2 Player’s Name First Half Second Half For Week 2, begin with Player “B” and fill in four players for the starting lineup. Using the method we just learned, fill in the rest of the substitution for Week 2. Name 18 Min 12 Min 6 Min 18 Min 12 Min 6 Min A Gabrielle X X X B Rachel X X X X C Emily X X X X D Madison X X X X E Samantha X X X F Ashley X X X G Grace X X X H

Substitution Scenario It’s Week 3 and, as game time approaches, Samantha has not arrived (she is supposed to be in the starting lineup for Week 3). She did not call prior to the game and inform you that she will not be present. What do you do?

Week 3 Player’s Name First Half Second Half Name 18 Min 12 Min 6 Min For the second segment, start with the next person in the rotation (Gabrielle) and work down the form to include Rachel, Emily and Madison. 18 Min 12 Min 6 Min If by the third segment Samantha has yet to arrive, draw another line through her name and begin with the next person in the rotation (Ashley) to begin this segment. Continue this lineup with Grace, Gabrielle and Rachel. A Gabrielle X Begin with your original starting two (Emily and Madison). For the first segment ONLY, draw a line through the box for Samantha and then fill the box for Ashley. X X If Samantha arrives during halftime, continue with the proper rotation including Samantha in the following segment. Then continue with the rest of the rotations through the end of the game. B Rachel X X X C Emily X X X X D Madison X X X X E Samantha X X Ashley X X X F X Grace X X X X G H

Game-Day Stars Game day stars are multi-colored stickers that you give to players at the end of each game. This presentation should be an exciting time with parents encouraged to cheer for players as each star is presented. Make a point to explain why each child received a particular star. The Star Distribution Form will help you track which stars players receive throughout the season. Both the form and the stars are located in the back of the coach playbook. These stars will also be placed on each player’s award poster.

Awards Celebration The awards celebration is the highlight of the entire season. This is a tremendous opportunity for you to communicate your love and support to the most important people in the league—the children. At the celebration each child will receive an end-of-season award. You will receive your team’s awards prior to the celebration so that you may distribute them at the appropriate time. You should plan to attend this wonderful time of fun and fellowship and encourage players and their family members to do the same.
