Team Formation

What Are the Steps for a Coach to “Create” a Team?

Dublin United Soccer Club is a parent-coached organization with Professional Training Assistance provided (in the form of Monday Evening/Indoor FootSkills and Goalkeeper Training). We try to make it easy for a Recreational Coach (or Coaches) to bring a partial to full team into Dublin United. Here are the steps:

• Coach decides to create a full or partial team
• Coach attempts to identify 1-3 assistant or co-coaches
• Coaching staff attempts to “build a roster” to the extent possible (this could be his/her full recreational team or a combination of multiple recreational teams or one to a full roster of individual players
• Coach completes a Dublin United Fall 2024/Spring 2025 Coach/Team Registration Form which can be found here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfvVtgIbhAQaHBLzC0mu7lKhY5pAU3hhh98UPW35Wq644bnBQ/viewform?usp=sf_link
• Coach encourages those players to register for our evaluations on this site indicating a preference for playing for the coach/team by name on the registration form
• Coach continues to “Build” the roster as needed prior to Player Evaluations week (May 20th-May 24th)
• Coach can continue to modify the original registration form by adding/dropping staff and players
• Coaching Staff attends Player Evaluations (Ideally both nights if the Coach is still “Building” his/her roster
• Coaching Staff works with DUSC Staff and Evaluators to complete the roster (this step could stretch into June or July as players can continue to be added to the roster until Coach/DUSC consider the roster to be complete.
