Many first time coaches volunteer or are volunteered to the job. The first thing is to relax. Relax and think about how much fun you are going to have with all these young soccer players and the experience that they are going to gain from you.
The Goal is to create a fun, learning soccer environment for all our players in training and in games!
Coaching Education is one of the most important part of any soccer club and Cajun Rush will continue to update this page and give all of our volunteer coaches the best information and resources to help with player development across our entire program.

The Build Out Line is one of the New Mandates from U.S. Soccer that every soccer club in the United States must now implement throughout their programming.
