Saint Joseph's Women's Soccer to Host NSCAA Diploma Course December 9
Dec. 4, 2006 PHILADELPHIA - The Saint Joseph's women's soccer team will hold a National Soccer Coaches Association of America State Diploma certification class on Saturday, December 9, at Alumni Memorial Fieldhouse. The course, which costs $35, begins at 9:20 a.m. The State Diploma is a five-hour course directed toward the person newly involved in coaching soccer. It is designed to help coaches working with players in the 5 to 10 year-old age range. Special emphasis is placed on understanding the physiological and psychological differences of coaching children. The course is designed to emphasize that the game itself essentially is the teacher, and the focus of the coach at this level clearly is as facilitator. The curriculum focuses on the organization of a practice session, using small-sided games to enhance knowledge and fun, basic understanding of the Laws of the Game and information about the care and prevention of injuries. There is no testing in the State course. For more information, please contact Saint Joseph's assistant coach Lee Mitchell at 610-660-3369. • Directions to Saint Joseph's University
