Coaches' Corner has been created for the parents and team coaches within the program. We hope to give you useful information that will assist you in your learning and teaching of the game.
The program offers coaching clinics and courses for the parents to participate in. If you are a parent interested in coaching or increasing your knowledge of the game, contact Simon Rothman, the Director of the program who will inform you of future clinics and courses within Albuquerque.
Rio Vista Football Club (RVFC) periodically holds Youth Modules

There are many resources available to help us increase our knowledge of soccer, such as books, videos and websites. Below are just a few of many website addresses and books available.
"It should not be the primary objective of the youth soccer coach to develop soccer players; the primary objective should be to develop children."
"Every coaching session is communication. The exercises are not important, but what you do with them is. Challenge the players to think about the soccer problems that these exercises pose."
"Are you developing coach-dependent players, or self-determined players? Can your players think for themselves and figure out the problems that arise during a soccer game?"
