I am now coaching a women's soccer team and would like to introduce myself to the player and let them know a little about my expectations and goals.

I have been around soccer in one way or another for 22 years and from my experience both playing and coaching I think the best way to ntroduce yourself is to have a two different meetings. One with the parents (depending on the age of the players you are coaching) either before or after practice and let them know who you are and give a little background info on yourself. The second meeting should be with the players before the start of practice (the first one if it's not to late) and do the same thing you did with the parents. From my experience you will gain a lot more respect from both the players and parents. And in both meetings explain your expectations (playing time, goals set, etc....)! Hopefully that helps you out a little bit!

It sounds like you should play defense.  I'd say the point.\n\nThe point's responsibility is to mark first home. She should be able to stick check, body check and look to intercept passes.\n\nIf you can run fast (but maybe don't have endurance), you could play the counterpoint or the third man.\n\nCheck out laxpower.com for more specifics on the positions:\nhttp://www.uslacrosse.org/the_sport/womens_rules.phtml

there are soccer leagues all over the place.  your state should have a youth soccer organization and an adult organization.  al you have to do is call and they can get you hooked up with a team.

Yes it is Rosie. But as the 1st guy Steve answered you have to contact the club directly and ask when the next open training session at the Cobham facility is. Chelsea usually try to have a kind of "open day" type thing where you can go once a week and meet them for autographs etc. Happy hunting!

Start by saying hello and introduce yourself. Go from there and see where things lead.

No disrespect intended, but is it that you don't understand the coach, or don't meet his expectations? Sounds like your team mates are trying to send you a msg. All this aside, if you are truly committed to staying with and improving your game work, work, work on your fundamentals and, hopefully you will grow into it. Good luck.

Check your local news paper, or ask around.  Go to sports areas and ask people there.  Maybe they can direct you or introduce you to others with your interest.

Tell him your grandmother died, but seriously just tell the coach you are not really interested in playing because if you were you would want to be at practice.\n\nIt takes a love of the game and and a sense of obligation to your team.\n\nIf your not feeling it then you shouldn't be on a team.

I would begin with team's public relations office and check to see if the player I was interested in interviewing has a personal publicist. The PR people can provide essential background information and make your interview time more efficient.

ask the coach what he/she wants you to do.

Be in shape before the season.  That means interval work (sprint/jog/spring/jog) and distance work.  You will have an edge over all the other players because your skill level will not drop off due to fatigue.  Be open minded because your coach may have a different approach to the game than your previous coaches.  \n\nLastly, work on your skills, dribbling, juggling, and if you can find someone to work with, passing and shooting.  And do not forget to work on your weak foot.  Coaches look for players with the ability to play multiple positions and capable with both feet.

Not yet, but i thought i might try to bamboozle him with something like "How long is the grass on a world cup pitch?\nor "What happens if a player gets aroused in the bath after the match?\nor "Does any team employ an acting coach for pretending to trip etc."

Well when you find out do let me know, because thats what I'm interested in becoming too. I've searched for Bios of famous soccer coaches like Bruce Arena etc.. to see where they start. My absolute best guess is once youve finished college (and its a must for this route) get a job at a highschool as a soccer coach. But you definately need to somehow contact a soccer coach and ask them.

Go up to her and introduce yourself and then break the ice by complimenting her on something then take it from there.  Try to find something to talk about from what she's wearing or what she's holding, like if she's wearing a baseball hat, talk about baseball.  Don't be intimidated and just go with the flow.
