Welcome

Welcome to Coaching in Colorado - a website designed by and for youth soccer coaches. We have sections on nearly everything that you might need to be able to coach a team through competitive soccer in Colorado and Wyoming.

There are a lot of websites out there that claim to help you run practices and coach at games. Most are set up by former players or enthusiastic parents. While there are some good things out there, it is often hard to find and surrounded by useless or wrong information. To make matters worse, most of the information is taken from practices run for professional adult teams. How does that benefit your U11 Girls Challenge team?

Our site is written entirely by current youth soccer coaches of all levels. We aim all the information at you and your teams. Our practices are sized to fit the youth game. Our tactics work for competitive youth teams.

Each week we interview a different knowledgable coach to find out how they really run practices, coach games, deal with parents, and build their teams. We post the interviews on here for you to read and add their plans to our archives for members to use. 

Lastly, we plan to keep adding new information and ideas. If you think we are missing something, we encourage you to let us know on the forum pages or through contacting us directly.
