How are coaches assigned to teams?
TCRSA, like most soccer associations, is a volunteer run organization. All teams are coached by volunteers. Coaching assignments are made by the TCRSA Director of Coaches (DOC) subject to approval or review by the TCRSA Board of Directors. A coach is generally assigned to a team when he/she volunteers to coach his/her child’s team. If a team has more than one volunteer to coach, the DOC will work with the volunteers to determine a head coach and any assistant coaches. If a team is formed without any volunteers to coach, the DOC will contact the parents and guardians of the players on the team and seek volunteers or assign a volunteer from another team if needed. All volunteers must pass a criminal background check before being assigned to a team and are required to obtain the minimum level coaching certification for their age group as determined by the association no later than their second season of coaching. Coaching in TCRSA is a privilege, not a right, and volunteers may be denied
