General Introduction

On January 11, 1941, the organization known as the National Soccer Coaches Association had itsrst meeting. From a small group o college coaches who met at that time, the NSCAA has grownto include all levels o mens and womens soccer, including youth, high school, junior college, col-lege and proessional coaches, as well as reerees, administrators and other individuals interested inthe growth o soccer in the United States. With more than 30,000 active members, the NSCAA iscurrently the largest single-sport coaching association in the world.

Te nature and purpose o the Association is to educate, provide services, and promote and stimu-late interest in the game o soccer. With this in mind, the NSCAA Coaching Academy Programwas established to urther these ideas and to meet the growing needs o our membership to learnmore about the game o soccer. Te philosophical oundation or all levels is to improve the devel-opment o soccer by creating a learning environment which will enhance the individuals experi-ence and enjoyment o the game.

Te Coaching Academy Program is a comprehensive educational program. We hope to reachcoaches on all dierent levels rom youth recreational to advanced and proessional coaches. Weanticipate that the dierent programs we oer will evolve as the needs o coaches change and evolve.

Any individual completing a diploma course through the NSCAA Coaching Academy will becomea more eective coach by understanding the need to organize appropriate material and inormationor the various ability, experience and age levels o the individuals they coach.

are even less comortable designing training sessions and actively coaching their goalkeepers.

Te NSCAAs goal in this course is to give the team coach the condence and the ammunition to successully train anddeveloptheirgoalkeepers.Mypersonalcoachingphilosophyistochallengeandtoguidetosuccess.isinitselfbuildsself-esteem and sel-condence and there exists a direct relationship between sel condence and perormance.

Te NSCAA also believes in simpliying the goalkeeper position. Provide specic and simple guidelines or both the coachandthegoalkeepertounderstandtheposition.Ihaveseentoomanycoachesusetheparalysisbyanalysiscoachingmeth-odology and it does not work with your goalkeeper. Every exercise needs to be compatible with developing the mental skillso your keeper. A condent but limited goalkeeper is almost always better than a multi-skilled goalkeeper who is unsure othemselves and lacking in condence.

Withthisinmind,weidentifyfourwaysofhandlingintheGoalkeepingLevelIDiploma.Everyballcomingtoakeeperis

handled in one o our ways, again simpliy and make it easy to coach and easy or a keeper to sel-coach.Tere is no doubt in my mind that the NSCAA Goalkeeping Academy and the diplomas earned are worthwhile and im-portant coaching educational opportunities. So, enjoy the courses and the community atmosphere, the interaction withinstructors and other candidates that the NSCAA Coaching Schools are known or.

Dont allow eet to cross.

Crossover

Te goalkeeper should use the crossover step to travel a greater distance across the goal. Te goalkeeper should only crossover their eet in ront never behind.

Drop step

Drop step is used or crossed balls and balls played towards the crossbar. Te key to this is that the goalkeeper stepsbackwards with one o their eet but always keeping their eyes up the eld. Tis kind o ootwork is aster then a backpedal and the goalkeeper remains more balanced to react to a high ball in this position.

A. Pre-Workout Fuel

Athletes should uel their bodies 2 to 3 hours beore practices and games with a high-carbohydrate meal or snack. Tiswill give the body additional energy to help make it through the workout or game.

B.Tips:

1. eam leaders can organize pre-game meals or the whole team, including high-energy oods like breads, cereals,pasta,rice,fruits,andvegetablesaswellasleansourcesofprotein.Athletesshouldll2/3oftheirplatewithhigh-carbohydrate options.

2.Beforeexercise,playersshouldeatfoodstheyknowworkwellforthem.Avoidfoodshighinfat,berorproteinjust beore training or competition. Tey slow down absorption and can cause stomach upset.

3. Athletes should replace the sodium lost in sweat especially or heavy crampers. Athletes can do this by regularlysalting their ood, eating some salty snacks like pretzels, crackers, and soups and avoring sports drinks, likeGatorade, over water during training and games.

C. Post-Workout Fuel

Tey may also have snacks like cereal mixed with peanuts and raisins, an energy bar, and aproperly ormulated sports drink, like Gatorade, to help reuel ast.

About the National Soccer CoachesAssociation of America

The NSCAA is the largest coaches organizationin the United States. Founded in 1941, theNSCAA represents more than 26,000 members.Core to its mission is advancing soccer throughcoaching education. This is pursued through anationwide program of clinics and week-longcourses, teaching more than 4,000 coacheseach year.

The NSCAA is also firmly committed to fosteringdiversity. The NSCAA strives to accomplish thisby nurturing a learning environment that respects

differences in culture, age, gender, race, ethnicity,physical ability, sexual orientation, religiousaffiliation and socioeconomic status.

About the NSCAA Foundation

More recently, the NSCAA established theNSCAA Foundation. Its mission is to providesoccer coaching educational opportunities tounderserved socioeconomic communities,geographic areas, and ethnic groups through-

competitive sport. Webelieve we can provide thesebenefits through soccercoaching education.The Foundations primaryprogram activity is directfinancial support through grants and throughscholarships to coaching education programs.

Why We Need an EndowmentThe Case for Support

Several minority groups, most notablyHispanics, are the fastest growing populationsegments of the United States, yet often theyface financial and social barriers. Other under-

served groups, such as African Americans inurban communities and Native Americansin rural areas, face the same barriers.

The NSCAA Foundation began awarding grantsfour years ago. Grantees include the SpecialOlympics, organizations serving Hispanic youthand Native American youth, inner city groupsin the District of Columbia, Atlanta, andPhiladelphia, and flood victims of hurricanes

fundraising initiative, funds avail-able for grants have been inconsis-tent. We award an average ofabout $15,000 in grants each year.

To keep pace with the growth ofthese underserved groups, and to reach largelyoverlooked urban communities, the Foundationmust be financially positioned to support theincreasing demand for coaching education.

If we have the ability to increase support forthese underserved groups, we will be able toprovide them a never-before-offered opportunity

to join the American youth soccer experiencethat today is predominantly a suburbanexperience.

Therefore, the NSCAA Foundation has launcheda campaign to establish a significant permanentendowment that will bring coaching educationopportunities to underserved communities andgroups throughout the United States. Our initialgoal is $1,000,000. Each year a draw of 4% onthis principal will enable the Foundation tomake grants of approximately $40,000nearlythree times what we currently award.
