Our Soccer Coaches Education Program
All volunteers for recreational programs and soccer clubs are highly appreciated. Their commitment and dedication of time and energy into building a positive soccer experience for the players is extraordinary. Ultimately, these committed people make any program or club successful and a vital part of the community.
Dutch Total Soccer (DTS) acknowledges that volunteers work incredibly hard to give all players a positive experience. Coaching a soccer team or functioning as a board member within a soccer club costs a lot of time and energy and usually, these positions are volunteer positions that do not require a lot of background knowledge about soccer. Because of limited experience, volunteers within recreational programs and local travel clubs face challenges when running programs.
To help develop coaches, recreational programs and local clubs, and to build a strong bond with all players and teams, DTS offers a Coaches Education Program. The DTS Training Staff is experienced in working with both amateur clubs as well as professional clubs. The Dutch Soccer Community is unique in the world by supporting volunteer positions within clubs through dedicated professionals to strengthen the organizational structure. All DTS Staff members have experienced what it’s like to support and bond with a local club and build on a strong club identity.
Because of their background, the DTS Staff is highly qualified to educate coaches in local communities. DTS Staff members are licensed through the KNVB and have many years of experience working in diverse programs with players of all ages and levels. The DTS Staff also keeps up-to-date with the latest developments in the field and take courses to improve their coaching skills and learn new methods/exercises.
Coaches Education
Dutch Total Soccer (DTS) supports and educates coaches of local recreational programs and travel soccer clubs. Based on the Dutch training philosophy, our professional DTS Staff has developed community support programs which include the following:
- Curricula support for recreational programs and travel teams
- Periodical presentations and classroom-setting workshops for coaches. These workshops focus on specific in-depth explanation of coaching techniques
- Host demonstration sessions to educate coaches, explain training philosophy and elaborate on age-appropriate exercises and coaching styles
- Host coach clinics on different aspects of soccer coaching and team management
- Structure and support in try-out processes and player evaluations with an in-depth knowledge of what skill-level is expected per age group
- Develop soccer programs such as clinics and camps to be hosted in local communities
We tailor any area of support and make a plan on how to best support the program’s needs.
