Guidelines for Rating Players
This is a document to assist you in the rating process. For 4/5's and the U6 (Micros) we only rate the players as 3, 5 and 7 so adapt these guidelines accordingly. When rating your players, try as best as you can to rate them against all those teams that you played against during the season, not just as an individual team. With this system, we should have very few 1s and 10s. Any questions you have feel free to contact your individual coordinators for assistance. These ratings are to be done for all age groups 4/5's and U6-U19 and brought to the end of season coaches meeting.

This document contains, amongst other components, important information regarding age appropriate lesson plans, how to deal with parental issues, how to organize a practice, age specific fun games and much, much more. It will also be a living document where new information, additional resources and helpful articles can be regularly added that will help inform the recreation soccer coach.
The Handbook is being made available free of charge to any person that would like a copy. Please visit the VYSA website at www.vysa.com and download your copy today. Also, please inform all of the recreation coaches in your leagues and clubs so that they are given access to this resource as well.Good luck this season and we hope that you enjoy the manual.
