Description

Coach Expectations for Each Age Group

PreK & K (Ages 3-5)

  • Energy & Engagement: Coaches should be animated, enthusiastic, and fun. Sessions should feel like play.

  • Clear, Simple Instructions: Use short, easy-to-understand instructions with lots of demonstrations.

  • Ball Mastery Focus: Every child should have a ball at their feet most of the time.

  • 1-on-1 Coaching: Help kids with basic movements like dribbling, stopping, and turning.

  • Group Coaching: Engage the entire group through fun, imaginative games and activities.

  • Encouragement Over Correction: Emphasize effort and fun rather than technique.

  • Game-Like Play: Even in small-sided games, encourage dribbling and individual confidence.

  • Minimal Waiting Time: Avoid lines; keep kids constantly moving.

  • Behavior & Class Management: Keep kids engaged by transitioning smoothly between activities and reinforcing positive behavior.

Positive Communication: Use uplifting language, praise effort, and make every child feel included.
