Spring Select Coaches:
Spring select teams are comprised of recruited players from throughout our region and represent the best of our region. They generally play other select teams throughout the Area 11L. The select program coach often feeds the majority of the post season EXTRA program for years to come as the age progresses. A long term commitment to AYSO Region 1455 is expected.
Beginning this spring season and future seasons, players who are on club teams (not players attending club academies)
will not be eligible for Spring Select or EXTRA teams.
Current EXTRA coaches will retain their teams for the competitive program by mutual agreement between coaches and the AYSO Regional Board. Coaches who wish to be considered for the U9 Girls and U9 Boys Spring Select teams should email completed applications to John O'Neil (
rca@laderasoccer.com)
Applications will be reviewed by a special non age group or board affiliated committee and the prospective coaches will be interviewed on philosophy and coach plan. One U9 team coach from girls and boys will be chosen to coach spring select. After notification, the select coaches should get out and scout players as soon as possible. Please notify the coach of the team you are scouting of any players that you may wish to contact for spring select. It is considered polite and hopefully breads cooperation in the selection.
The application is available on the Ladera Soccer website under resources then coaches. You may also email John O'Neil at
rca@laderasoccer.com for further information, but I do not have the decision making authority.
Spring Recreational Coaches:
If you wish to be considered as a coach candidate for Spring Rec League, please email me your contact information as soon as possible, include email, address, home and cell phone numbers and the level of coaching you are certified at (U10, U12, etc). If you do not have the appropriate AYSO training, you will be eliminated from consideration without notification.
Spring recreational teams tend to be more competitive and of a higher skill level throughout the AREA11L. Do not request players or assistant coaches at this time. Space is severely limited in spring and not all players will get the opportunity to be on a team.
You may email John O'Neil at
rca@laderasoccer.com for further information. Please remember I am one person, do not expect long answers to questions, please include a telephone number, sometimes it may just be quicker to call you.
