Match Day Coaching

Match days remain learning opportunities.

Club Operations · Handbook page 38


Match days remain learning opportunities. Coaches should:

  • Encourage players positively
  • Allow players to make decisions
  • Rotate responsibilities where appropriate
  • Promote respect for officials and opponents
  • Focus on learning as well as performance
Winning should never come at the expense of player development or enjoyment. Every player should leave match day wanting to come back next week.

Still not sure?

Ask the assistant in plain English, it answers from this handbook and the club website, and shows you exactly where the answer came from.
