When registering your child, please indicate if you're interested in becoming a Head Coach, Assistant Coach, or Team Director on the player registration form.

If you missed this step during registration, don't worry! You can still sign up:

1. Log into your account.
2. Click on Volunteer Opportunities.
3. Select Find Volunteer Roles.
4. Choose your preferred role(s) for the division(s) your child(ren) are signed up for.

All coaches (starting from U6 and above) must attend one of the KMSL Rules Clinics or similar training sessions led by Jack De Selm, our Director of Coaches. The club covers the cost of these clinics, but they must be pre-approved.

If you’re interested in volunteering but don’t want the full responsibility of coaching, consider becoming an Assistant Coach or Team Director.

Coaching Education Requirements:

• First-Year Coaches / U-9 and Younger: Must attend one of the following within the first year:
  • United Soccer Coaches (NSCAA) State Diploma course, or
  • Wisconsin Youth Soccer Association (WYSA) "G" Modules Course.
• U-10 Coaches: Must attend one of the following within two years of starting:
  • NSCAA Regional Diploma course, or
  • WYSA “E” Course.
•  U-12 / U-14 Coaches: Must complete:
  • NSCAA Regional Diploma or WYSA “E” Course within one year of assignment.
  • NSCAA Advanced Regional Diploma or WYSA “D” Course within three years of assignment.
    

  These are minimum standards for our club to ensure high-quality coaching. The courses are enjoyable and informative, and the Hartford Soccer Club covers the cost. You’re also welcome to attend additional clinics at club expense with prior approval.

Once you've completed your training and have your team, it’s time to:

1. Plan your practices.
2. Schedule your sessions.
3. Play and enjoy the season!

Thank you again for your commitment, and we wish you a successful and fun-filled year!
