The Alliance Soccer Club is dedicated to the growth of its players and coaches. It is essential that all coaches at the Alliance Soccer Club are assessed and evaluated by the Director of Coaching, Director of Player Development, Coaching Coordinators, and their peers. The goal of the assessment program is to encourage coaching that is aligned with the physical and mental development of the Alliance player. We will also use this method to ensure that the Alliance Soccer Club philosophy of player development is followed and properly presented. The coaching staff will be evaluated through several methods including the following: Video Analysis when required, On-site Observation, and Training Session Plan Review.
