Rigby Soccer - Region 373 
Coaches: (def.) Awesome people creating fun for kids through soccer!
(according to Region 373 anyway...)
As a coach, you are the heartbeat of our organization. You're the one each kid gets to look up to as their coach. The name "coach" becomes a term of endearment and respect as they look forward to practices and games, being with teammates/friends and being with "coach". As coach, you're biggest responsibility is creating a safe and fun environment for kids to play soccer. Fortunately for most of us, we don't have to be experts in the sport. But anyone can have fun!
AYSO soccer is only possible through parent participation as volunteers. As your regional board, we provide the training and tools so that "anyone can help" just as "everyone plays". For all of our coaches, we provide Coach Kits, Safe Haven Training and Coaching Workshops. We hope you'll find this website helpful along with its links to related soocer websites for access to many coach's experiences, tips and resources.

Safe Haven Training Safe Haven is a child and volunteer protection program that was the first of its kind in youth sports. The child protection aspect is intended to stop child abuse, educate or remove its perpetrators, and screen out predators before they get into the program. It includes proactive steps which provide a medium for positive, healthy child development, precluding the outbreak of child abuse in a weak, unfocused, nonempowering environment. Volunteer protection comes in to play as a result of volunteer training, certification and continuing education. The Volunteer Protection Act of 1997 provides certain legal protections for volunteers who have been trained and certified, and act in accordance with a written job description. Safe Haven has these three elements, giving volunteers the highest degree of protection available under the law.  Safe Haven Training is required for all coaches.
