Classroom training In 1994, our club voluntarily required formal training to improve the quality and consistency of our coaching. The response has been overwhelmingly positive! SAY National now requires coaches' training. All first and second year coaches MUST participate in formal training. All other coaches MUST participate in training every other year. All coaches are welcome to attend yearly. We are excited about our training program that includes one hour of general information and two hours of age specific breakout sessions.

Our Purpose

Our purpose is to increase our youth's enjoyment of recreational soccer by improving the quality and consistency of our coaching.

Our program depends on volunteers like you to be successful. Coaching gives you the opportunity to teach skills, teamwork and sportsmanship and reap the benefits of personal enjoyment and appreciation from your players.

In addition to all of the benefits you'll receive from coaching, we give a $10.00 discount off of the child's registration fee whose team coach.

Coaches' Screening

Coaches Screening

Most youth sports programs have instituted a screening process for volunteers. While our state does not currently have laws requiring this procedure, SAY National as well as The Green Bay Strikers want to be proactive. We understand that this process may make some people uneasy but SAY National has come up with a program that is the least intrusive of those that were reviewed.

Coaches are asked to fill out an additional form when they register. It simply asks for a previous address (if you have lived at your current address less than 5 years) and a yes/no question concerning any possible criminal history or history of violence. It also includes a standard disclaimer verifying the truthfulness of the information given. Only our Volunteer Screener will review these forms. Any "yes" answers will automatically be forwarded to RiskAwarew (our volunteer screening agency). We are aware that this is a very sensitive issue. But, as always, our primary concern is the protection of our players as well as our coaches.
