Byte Size Coaching is an online coaching program that provides
practice plans and curriculum specific to the age groups in our
House League program (from U4 through to U18). The program is
endorsed by the Canadian Soccer Association and is used by more
than 250 clubs.
All of the material is printable and for the U7 to U12 age groups
there are one-page printable Session Plans that you can fold,
put in your shorts or tracksuit pocket and take to the practice
field.
You will find the coaching program by clicking on the Byte Size
Coaching link on the left hand side of this page. To login follow
the ‘Byte Size Coaching Login Instructions’ provided
to you in the Coaches Handbook.

To become more familiar with the program please review the Byte
Size Coaching Introduction and Age Specific Overview slide shows
below.
For those of you that do not have easy access to an on-line computer
and/or printer, we suggest that you ask one of the team parents
or the team manager to print off the appropriate age-lesson plans
for you - including the Activity Pages, the 12-Session Schedule,
the 12 Session Plans for your age group and the Progressions that
go with each activity. There is a print button for the Lesson
Plans, but you will have to “Copy and Paste” the Progression
pages. Put the information in a 3-Ring binder.
Coaches, don’t be afraid of looking at the practices suggested
for the older age groups for additional ideas. As well, don’t
think you are being negative by looking at the practices for younger
groups. Many of these small-sided and overloaded number practices
for the 6-, 7- & 8 year olds are used by professional clubs
as part of their practice schedule.
Remember these Practice Plans are just a tool. As well as the
players, make sure you have fun. The
Byte size Coaching program will help you do that.
We are very excited about this new program and believe that it
will not only meet but exceed our objectives but also the expectations
of you our coaches, players and parents.
