Having a kickoff meeting for parents and players before the first pracice is essential to make sure everyone gets off on the right foot for a soccer season. It allows the coach to establish how they want the season to go and is guaranteed to save every coach much grief later in the season.
Everyone is free to download my standard AYSO Soccer Team Kickoff Meeting Agenda and modify/use it for themselves. It is based on AYSO and Positive Coaching Alliance philosophies and approaches. Within the MS Word document, the portions in blue are the ones that you will most likely need to update to make it fit your team situation.

Domination points is a technique to track behaviors coaches want to see their soccer players do more of (like clears, crosses, thru balls, give & go's, shots, steals, etc). It is very simple and works well to improve players. Plus it is a great way to keep spectators (particularly ones that shout too much) productively occupied.
