Coaches
RYSA needs your expertise, energy and enthusiasm for coaching soccer.
Our local kids benefit greatly when you volunteer your time and energy teaching them fitness, teamwork and skills.
We are looking for coaches for our 2025 Spring House League. Click here to Register. This year, we are offering a free player registration if you volunteer as a coach!
With over 350 children playing soccer in Revelstoke, we require a large number of volunteer coaches to assist us in providing a fun, quality soccer program. Head coach, co-coach and assistant coach options are available.
Our Spring House season runs for 8 weeks from the beginning of May until the end of June. Some positions are for only one day per week (Wednesdays) and other are for two days per week (Tuesdays and Thursdays).
If you are interested in coaching, please direct any questions to contactrysa@gmail.com or register online here.
There are two BC Soccer mandated criteria to coach:
1 - Complete the appropriate Coaching Course
2 - Complete a valid Criminal Record Check
Instructions for completing both are below.
Spring Coaching Courses
BC Soccer is now mandating age-appropriate coach training for all coaches. You can register for these courses through the Grassroots Coach Education Program (link below).
ACTIVE START (Ideal for coaches of U4-U6)
At this stage, players should participate in stimulating practices and games that develop basic technical skills in a FUN atmosphere. The emphasis should be movement exercises and games that promote a feel for the ball while teaching basic principles of play within a fun but structured setting. Informal games can be set up at the end of practices or as part of a jamboree mixing exercising and games. Play equal time and try all team positions, including goalkeeper, and equal time should be allotted to practices and game.
FUNDAMENTALS (Ideal for coaches of U7-U10)
At this stage, players should participate in stimulating practices and games that develop basic technical skills in a FUN atmosphere. The emphasis should be movement exercises and games that promote a feel for the ball while teaching basic principles of play within a fun but structured setting. Mini game formats are used, ranging from 3v3 to 5v5 and a basic league schedule can be created but no standings should be kept. All players should play equal time and try all team positions, including goalkeeper, and equal time should be allotted to practices and games.
