Coaching Resources


The Winter Haven Soccer Club is dedicated to give our volunteer coaches the resources in order to succeed on the field and build the best possible foundation for our children to grow and develop to their full potential through game-like experiences in an enjoyable environment that supports individual growth.

We want our coaches to have a growth mindset and continue their own personal development in order to provide the platform in which our players will continue to improve. In order to achieve this, we have provided the list of resources below to help and assist in our entire communities soccer development.

Winter Haven Soccer Club, along with U.S. Soccer are committed to providing all coaches, from beginner to advanced, with education tailored to their experiences and the needs of their players. The Coaching License Pathway consists of a series of courses designed to meet the specific needs of a coach at every step of the way. We believe education is a journey, and our goal is to provide the necessary tools, guidance, and mentorship a coach requires.
