Welcome to BRYC Recreational Soccer! Whether you’re a new or experienced coach, we’re excited to have you join our team. Coaching youth soccer is an incredible opportunity to inspire young players, teach life skills, and make a lasting impact both on and off the field. At BRYC, we believe soccer is about more than just the game—it’s a platform for players and coaches to grow.
 

As a coach, you set the tone for your team, guiding players through challenges, fostering teamwork, and helping them discover the joy of the sport. We’re here to support you every step of the way with resources, training opportunities, and a community of coaches eager to share best practices. U.S. Soccer, our governing body, also provides excellent training to help you grow your skills and confidence.

Coaching is a journey, and we encourage you to try new approaches, learn from experience, and embrace the rewarding process of leading a team. Together, we’re not just shaping great players but great people.

Becoming a BRYC recreational coach is a rewarding opportunity to make a difference in your players' lives while contributing to their growth both on and off the field. As a coach, your commitment includes time spent guiding your team in practices, games, and essential communication to foster a positive and supportive environment.

To help you better understand the expectations and responsibilities of a recreational coach, we've outlined key areas in the table below. These include your weekly time commitments, game-day duties, and available resources to support your success throughout the season.

BRYC offers a wide range of coaching opportunities for both experienced coaches and enthusiastic volunteers. We support boys' and girls' soccer across all age groups, aligning with U.S. Soccer's training standards.

Many of our coaches begin their journey by registering their child and stepping up as a coach, assistant, or active parent. Others are drawn to BRYC by a passion for coaching. Regardless of your starting point, we warmly welcome you to join our team.

The table below provides an overview of age groups, their corresponding styles of play, and field sizes to help guide your coaching experience.

Coaches and volunteers are encouraged to choose the age group they feel most comfortable working with, as each stage of development in soccer requires tailored training and coaching techniques. Different age groups come with unique needs and opportunities for growth, and BRYC is dedicated to aligning its training resources with these developmental milestones. Coaches' Corner is designed to provide the best training opportunities and support, ensuring that every volunteer has the tools and knowledge needed to effectively guide and inspire our players.

If you have questions regarding volunteering opportunities, please contact our Training Team, and we will be happy to support inquiries and point you in the right direction.

In order to get your season started, all coaches are required to complete specific requirements to ensure a successful season. Without completing these courses, your team roster will not be provided to you.
