Youth Soccer Trainer - You Raise Them I Train Them

Koach Karl brings you this opinion by Bob A. - let us know your thoughts on this subject….

Youth Soccer Trainer Contract

My issue is not with "paid coaches" even though I don't think "paid coaches" are necessary in youth soccer, IF you have a good technical director paid or unpaid that is directing the training of your league coaches who is QUALIFIED to train your coaches.

What I do have a problem with is the "paid coach" that is not qualified to teach. Who makes false promises of college scholarships to kids he or she trains to obtain employment as a trainer/coach.

Here is an example of a contract that I would like them to sign.

Youth Soccer Trainer Contract

I, (insert trainers name) a youth soccer personal trainer/coach agree to refund all money paid to me for the training I have been paid to train, (insert players name)a (insert age) old minor to become a NCAA Division I men’s soccer player on a full athletic soccer scholarship.

If (insert players name) does not receive a full athletic scholarship to play soccer at a NCAA Division I school by his nineteenth (19) birthday I (insert trainers name) will refund all of the money paid by his parents to me and include interest at a rate of six (6) per cent per year for all money given to me by his parents to train (insert players name).

If (insert players name) parents have paid me to train (insert player name) based on my promise that by training with me from January 1, 200(insert year) until his nineteenth (19) birth date he would receive a “full ride” soccer scholarship to a NCAA Division I school and I (insert trainers name) do not deliver that scholarship for (insert players name) and they paid me to train (insert players name) on an average of at least two training sessions per week for at least forty (40) weeks per year during that time I (insert trainers name)will do the following:

I (insert trainers name) will double the money they have paid me for that training that did not result in (insert players name) receiving the scholarship to play by his nineteenth birth day. I (insert players name) will reimburse his parents with-in thirty (30) days of his nineteenth (19) birth date. Said payment shall include interest at a rate of six (6) per-cent per year for the period of time that I (insert trainers name) was paid to train (insert players name).

Signed,
