Project Play: Youth Coach Training and Resources

C

oaches are critical to providing kids with early, positive
experiences in sport and play.
They help kids develop confidence
and skills, both on and off the playing
field. But, coaching, and finding people to coach, has become a challenge
in today's society given the increasing
lack of civility, particularly at sporting events from spectators toward
coaches and game officials. The U.S.
Olympic Committee and Nike (inspired by Project Play (www.aspen
projectplay.org), which was launched
in 2013 by the Aspen Institute Sports
& Society Program), have partnered
to create " How to Coach Kids "
(www.howtocoachkids.org), a free,
interactive online training course and

resource library.
The How to Coach Kids library provides materials on everything from
sport-specific information (including
bobsled, canoe, squash and more) to
audience-specific information (e.g.,
" how to coach kids with intellectual
disabilities " ). The 30-minute course
is designed for community organizations and youth sports leagues
that would like to offer foundational
training to their volunteer coaches.
Active kids do better academically,
physically and emotionally. Unfortunately, many kids don't have access to
the great experiences that help them
learn to love sports and physical activity. And, many with access end up
dropping out because of the pressure

to secure scholarships, to find or be
the next great [fill in the blank] player
or the expense associated with playing in travel leagues that often are the
only way kids can get on a team in
high school. Whether it's at school or
as part of a community group or an
organized team, some kids are missing out on being physically active and
developing valuable life skills. How
to Coach Kids is focused on getting
all kids moving and having a great
time, while developing those important life skills. It also provides coaches
with the tools to help them inspire
young athletes in their communities.
To take the course or share the
resource with your coaches, go to
