Colorado EDGE also offers all our coaches various coaching tools, such as online platforms and Director to Coach communication for all your coaching curriculum and practice needs! These resources are for soccer coaches who want to improve their understanding of coaching, find real practical sessions which they can use and accelerate the development of their players by creating a first-class soccer learning environment. This is designed for all ages and ability levels so you should have no shortage of ideas and sessions to find for your weekly practices. Our staff is very excited to be able to not only offer you a personal coaching experience through our own Directors, but also through additional coaching resources. 

Resources

Risk Management – It is the intent of Colorado EDGE, ECNL and Colorado Soccer Association (CSA) to provide a healthy, safe and enjoyable soccer environment for all participants. EDGE, ECNL and CSA have adopted the US Youth Soccer Kid Safe Program and SafeSport, which is designed to create a safe environment for all players associated with ECNL and CSA. ECNL and CSA is committed to providing all support necessary for our club affiliates to implement the program. Please see the CSA Risk Management Policy for more information.

Kid Safe – Coaching Background Check is required by ECNL and CSA.  All coaches must be cleared to be allowed to coach and be on a team roster. Background checks are processed online through your Coach Account.  Please contact your age group Director for more information.

Online Concussion Training Course – Colorado State law requires that coaches assigned to a roster undergo annual concussion/head injury training. In order to fulfill this requirement (and in the best interests of our players), coaches are required to complete the online course. Similar to the background checks, you can complete this training through your Coach Account.  Please contact your age group Director for more information.

Injury Report – Coaches, please notify our Athletic Trainer, Nathan Skelton, of any serious EDGE player injury or suspected concussion causing the player to miss significant practice or game time.

US Soccer Coaching Courses

Colorado EDGE encourages our coaches to educate themselves with the most up to date coaching education and methodology. Please contact the appropriate program Director if you have any questions and/or need advice on which courses would benefit your continued learning and education the best.
