Spring Info - Coaches

Hello coaches!! 

We are very excited for Spring Soccer! 

Thank you all for volunteering your time to coach these awesome kids! 

First things first, we are requiring ALL Head Coaches AND Assistant Coaches to come to our coach's meeting. This is MANDATORY. If you cannot make your meeting, you MUST come to the other meeting listed below. We need assurance that all of you hear the same rules, expectations, and guidelines.

Micro/Kinder: Sunday, March 10th - 7PM - 8PM - Round Table Pizza

3rd-8th Grade: Monday, March 11th - 7PM - 8PM - Round Table Pizza

Any questions about the coach's meeting can be directed to president@gladstonesoccer.com

At the coaches meeting you will get your ball bags, backpacks, first aid, game day jerseys (for micro/kinder), whistles, coaches cards, etc. 

You can start practices AFTER the coach's meeting. 

For teams 3rd-8th, you must have your players purchase one grey and one black jersey from Tursi. Please remind them to do so as soon as possible. Micro and Kinder teams will receive t-shirts at the coach’s meeting.

Do NOT cancel practices or reschedule games this season. You and your assistant coach need to make all of your dates work. If there is a questionable weather issue (like possible lightning) and you’d like to cancel, please first reach out to Scott Busic: (Coaching Director) 503.853.6593  Soccer is a rain-or-shine sport and parents deserve a full 2-month season.

Lastly, your assistant coaches or anyone helping with your team MUST register as a coach, do their background check, Concussion Training and Safesport training. They cannot interact with kids if they do not. Please email our Registrars (registrar@gladstonesoccer.com) if you have any questions, and PLEASE get this done ASAP if you haven’t already.

The first game is Saturday, April 6th, but we currently do not have schedules.  

Again, thank you for coaching this season! We can’t wait to see you all on the fields!
