Soccer Coach Evaluation: Fill & Download for Free

Get some coaches' credentials. Your national soccer federation probably gives courses leading to coaches' certificates ("licenses") at various levels. In the US check the websites of the US Soccer Federation (USSoccer.com) and US Youth Soccer Association, and also the American Youth Soccer organization. There is also an independent National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) that gives excellent coaching courses. NSCAA also brings in international trainers from other countries' federations and leagues and top clubs. In England, the Football Association has similar programs, as do most countries' federations. These classes will teach you things like how to teach (and teach better) players at various age levels, how to organize an effective practice, how to analyze the game, how to evaluate players, as well as how to manage/lead/motivate a team.Learn the game better. You say that you have a great understanding for the game, but I'll bet you that you'll be surprised how much you learn when you take a referee training course and actually referee a couple thousand games over the course of the next few years. Ask the referee (one who's wearing the badge of the national or regional federation) at almost any game how to get in touch with his association or his assignor or the people who organize the training he took.Get involved. Local clubs need people to do the work. Local teams need coaches. Somebody is administering the local league, somebody is organizing youth teams and finding coaches, somebody appoints coaches for school teams. Ask a coach how you can get involved the way he has done.

The Laws of the Game and the customs of football make no provision for the role of a team's coach during games. The only mentions in the Laws are to allow the referee to deal with team officials who fail to behave in a responsible manner. Coaching, giving instructions during play, is considered under strict interpretation to be interference with players, interference in the game, and fundamentally unfair. Soccer's ideology is that "it's the players' game."As the questioner and Samuel Gilleran note, the coach's responsibilities include the decision to substitute for a player and advising on the tactical aspects of play. (The distinction is tactical versus technical, technical referring to the selection and execution of techniques that a player uses to play the ball.) Tactical matters include team shape (formation and spacing), marking (defensive coverage and support), the team's attacking style and behavior, and perhaps the team's morale. Coaches of young players are often given much more latitude to insert themselves in the game under the justification of teaching, although such teaching during play actually interferes with the most efficient learning. One view is that a coach's involvement with the players' choices and actions during a game correlates inversely and exactly with the coach's effectiveness as a teacher in team preparation and practices.The proper role of the coach in a soccer game is to offer something that players on the field are unable to provide for themselves: a broad, analytical view of the team's performance versus the opponents and an evaluation of the tactics of the teams. This would require that a coach be a careful, dispassionate observer, rather than an involved participant. Players usually know when their decisions and actions are successful or unsuccessful; a coach might offer information after the fact about alternatives. On the rarest of occasions, a coach may be able to give a player useful information in a timely manner despite noise and distractions.
