For Coaches

Dedicated to developing young athletes through professional coaching and a supportive community.

Parent Volunteer Coaches

Parent involvement is at the heart of Rowayton soccer. Our parents come ready to play and are required for our MINIS and we welcome the coaching help in our BALLERS program as well. We also need parent volunteer coaches for every World Cup team - both head coach and assistant. Please make sure you sign up at the time of registration. We also need parent volunteer assistants for our Travel Rec teams.

We hold a parent coach volunteer session each year. Please page down to view coach requirements and links to all the necessary steps to be 'approved' to coach and work with the kids. We look forward to a great season, don't hesitate to reach out with questions.

RFC Parent Coaching

Thank you for Coaching! Our Coaches are one of the most valuable parts of our team and enable us to function as a fun, community based program for players of all levels.

Coaching Requirements:

All returning and new head and assistant coaches need need a background check and will need to attend online SafeSport Training. We also strongly encourage taking the CDC Heads Up online training for concussion awareness:

1. Background Check from Connecticut Junior Soccer Association. Click 'Registration' on the top right to initiate the process.
2. New & Returning Coaches Log in to US Soccer Learning for SafeSport Here. Click 'Enroll' and sign up (new user) or log in. Once logged in, click on 'Menu' and select 'Catalog'. Find and start 'SafeSport Trained - U.S. Soccer Federation' and complete the course. This should take about 60 minutes the first time and is an annual certification/refresher that takes 30 minutes.
3. Click here for the CDC Heads Up training (optional)
