If you did not sign up to coach during your player's registration,

a link will be available after teams have started being created.

The COSL Coaches Corner is a place dedicated to our volunteer coaches.

The role of a COSL coach is first and foremost to be a supportive leader to the youth players who are out there wanting to have fun while developing skills in the great game of soccer. In a rec program, especially for players who are out there for the first time, the experience they have this year could determine if they keep playing or not. That is a BIG responsibility and we take it seriously. Please remember that winning isn't always determined by a score.

"Be who you needed when you were younger."- Ayesha Siddigi

Once registration closes, we will create teams and coaches will officially be assigned to their teams.

You will be automatically matched up with the player that you signed up with.

If you did not sign up to coach during your player's registration,

a link will be available after teams have started being created.

*Note: Account owners and Additional Family Contacts cannot see each other's billing information. They only see their own billing information and the player profiles, schedules, team pages, etc. for the players on the shared account.

Many thanks to those who have already volunteered to coach a team!

You do not need to have experience to be a volunteer coach.

An optional coach training will be offered by our Bend FC Staff before the start of the season.

ARE YOU CLEAR?

Instructions for being cleared to coach will be sent out in January.

All coaches are required to be cleared by our governing agency, Oregon Youth Soccer Association (OYSA) even if you were already cleared through Parks and Rec in the Fall and/or a school association.

We are all separate entities so clearance must be done for each of us.

• You will sign up to coach during your player's registration process.
• If you do not have a player but want to coach, please create a PlayMetrics account then contact cosl@bendfc.com.
• If you are signed up to coach, you will be sent a form with instructions on this process starting in January.
