Coaches You can’t beat the feeling of satisfaction and excitement when you see the look of success and happiness on the face of a child when they have made their first completed pass or scored their first goal. Each team needs at least one coach (preferably two) in place before a team can be formed. Last year, we had over 320 coaches, and still had leagues that needed coaches. Don’t let a child be denied an opportunity to play soccer! Volunteer to coach today!
PSA offers various training opportunities for the new coach and the experienced coach. Coaching clinics are offered for all levels of experience. Each team will also receive videos, books and practice planners to provide you with as many tools as you need. Can a friend and I coach together? Absolutely! Fill out your registration form with the name of your friend and we will build a team around your child and your friend’s child. If you have additional questions please come to the PSA Open House or call the PSA hotline and leave a message on the coaches voice mail box at 651-……… Coach a team….It’s fun and rewarding! Don’t let a child be denied an opportunity to play soccer.  |

The soccer fields in our community are a fabulous resource. As with any of our natural resources, we must be prudent in their use. Our soccer fields continue to be scheduled and re-scheduled, and finally over-scheduled until the grass gives way to dirt and the rain turns the dirt to mud. Despite the best efforts of the City of Plymouth and the various school districts involved to maintain the available resources, the demands placed on these facilities overtake even the most meticulous of caretaking programs. Many other “green space” organizations (e.g., baseball, softball, football, rugby and lacrosse, etc.) use the community’s field resources. The pressure on our fields is all based on hours of play per facility. The truth be known, our green space is repeatedly over-scheduled to the point of exhaustion! Plymouth Soccer Association is doing something about it! About two years ago, the PSA Board of Directors voted to dedicate a portion of the receipts of our various soccer programs to the upkeep and improvement of targeted soccer fields. The first major project was to donate over $7500 towards the installation of an irrigation system at Kimberly Lane Elementary. Having been shut down for two seasons to complete the work, Kimberly Lane will be back on-line for the summer 2002 season. This past summer, PSA worked with the City of Plymouth in obtaining a “Mighty Kicks” grant from the state and allocated over $10,000 to the Greenwood Elementary Renovation Project. This will result in four new soccer fields being available for the 2003 season. Additional projects are in the works. In cooperation with School District 284, Plymouth/Wayzata Football and Wayzata Soccer Club, PSA has contributed funds to install new lighting at Central Middle School Stadium Field. The new lighting system is installed and functional and will be available for the 2002 season. Other projects under consideration include enhancements at Ridgemount Playfield, Plymouth Creek Elementary and on-going improvements to Plymouth Creek Playfield. PSA’s goal is to improve the safety and the quality of the
soccer experience at each and every facility for each and every player.
