Here are a few reviews from past coaching clinics:
"You just finished the two day Coaches Clinic at Shawnee High School for our Shawnee Youth Soccer Association and WCOSA league....great stuff,
I rate your EXCELLENT in style, personality, energy, content and communication....you know Warren Buffet looks for three aspects in a person
to hire, Passion, Skills and Integrity....I give you 10's in all three. I've already received several positive comments from those who attended. I look
forward to applying your insights into my own Coaching efforts to help the children grow on and off the pitch!
I enjoyed meeting you and appreciate
you/SAY's efforts to positively impact our children's lives." Patrick O. (Lima, OH)
"I have to say that Neil is top notch. All the information he gave us was right on track and he was extremely enthusiastic about teaching the game. I took
away a whole lot of great information I can adapt for my practices. The most important thing I believe he taught (me at least) was to have fun and show
the kids that this is the primary reason we are all here. His drills involved a lot of (for lack of a better word) horseplay and he taught us how to get the team
to communicate and work together and have fun out on the field. I would recommend this clinic not only for first-timers, but for seasoned veterans also."
Bob T. (Fairfield, OH)
"Wanted to follow up and say how great I thought the coaches clinic was on Saturday, even despite the weather!! You did a great job keeping the session
entertaining while teaching us some great games to use!" Doug W. (Fairfield,OH)

Additional Clinic Options
NSCAA Course Names:
SAY will pay for half the cost of any SAY hosted Junior Level 2 or Junior Level 5 up to the first twenty (20) attendees. The National Soccer
Coaches Association of America is a great resource. A minimum of fifteen (15) coaches is needed to hold the clinic. The entry level clinic is called
a "Junior Level 2" and is $35 per coach. The "Junior Level 5" is $60 per coach. Maximum benefit per clinic: Junior Level 2 is $350.
Junior Level 5 is $600.
How it works... SAY League representative calls with contact name, date, a location, and the level of clinic they would like to hold. SAY then
contacts the NSCAA Regional Director assigned to your state. The Director then secures qualified clinician. John Bluem, Ohio State Men's
Soccer coach for example. The Director and/or the secured clinician will then contact SAY league representative to finalize the details. The SAY
league will receive the primary bill from the NSCAA. A copy of this bill accompanied with list of attendees must be sent to SAY National
Headquarters for re-reimbursement. Visit
www.nscaa.com

At NO expense to SAY leagues. A syllabus is provided from the professionals at SAYTEC (Soccer Association for Youth Training and Education
