VP DEVELOPMENT COACHES'
CORNER
Community Coach Clinics
CVUSC has programmed
several Coaching clinics covering all areas of coaching
development from the brand new parent, novice coach, through
to Select coach. The intent is to provide you the coach all
the tools you need to develop yourself in to the best coach
and our youth into the best soccer players they can be while
having fun. All the clinics outlined below are free to all
CVUSC coaches. CVUSC will typically only pay for one of
these clinics per calendar year, unless special permission is
given explicitly by the VP Development. Clinics will be held
at the CVUSC Clubhouse and Valley View Fields. Come prepared
with food, snacks and water and prepared to play with the
appropriate soccer playing strip. There will be on-field play
(mostly) and some classroom discussion so bring a note pad and
pen as well. There is no better way to build your confidence
and understanding of the basics of coaching, I highly
recommend all coaches to take at least one clinic per year-
our Comox Valley youth deserve it.
