What to Expect in Your Player's First Season at Coroncoro

Before the first practice

Once you register, you will get the basics squared away. Your child's age group, their program, whether they are on a recreational or competitive track, and the practice schedule.



You do not need much gear to start. Cleats, shin guards, a ball in the right size for their age, a water bottle, and comfortable clothes they can move and sweat in. That is it. Skip the expensive kit until you know they are sticking with it. We will tell you if anything specific is needed for their group.

If your child is nervous, tell them the truth. Everyone on that field was new once, and the coaches expect it. Nobody is judging a first touch on day one.

The first few weeks

The opening weeks are about settling in, not proving anything.

Coaches spend this stretch getting to know each player. Where their skills are, how they learn, what motivates them. Your child will work on fundamentals through games and drills built to be fun first. Expect a lot of touches on the ball and not a lot of standing around.

Some kids click immediately. Some take a few sessions to warm up and find their footing. Both are completely normal. Give it three or four weeks before you judge how it is going. Almost every kid who feels shy at first ends up running to practice by week 5.

You will also start to see our standard show up in small ways. The staff at Coroncoro is built around Luis Carlos Perea, a two time World Cup player, and that pedigree sets the tone. Real coaching, real respect for every player, and a bar for effort and attitude that kids rise to meet.

What we expect from you

Your job as a parent is smaller than you think, and more important than you know.



Get them to practice on time. Cheer for effort, not just goals. And on the ride home, resist the urge to coach. The research is clear and every coach will back it up: the six most powerful words a parent can say after a game are simply, I love watching you play. Let the coaching happen on the field.

Sideline behavior matters. Kids read the adults around them. Positive, supportive parents raise players who enjoy the game. Loud, critical ones raise players who quietly dread it.

By the end of the season

If we have done our job, your child finishes the season better than they started. Not just at soccer, though that too. More confident, more disciplined, more comfortable being part of a team.

Some kids will want to step up to a more competitive track next season. Some will happily run it back at the same level. Both are wins. The goal was never one path for every kid. It was to grow the player you actually have.

That is a first season at Coroncoro. Real coaching, a welcoming culture, and a standard set by someone who has been to the top of the game.

What we expect from your child

Three simple things. Show up, try hard, and treat teammates and coaches with respect.

We do not expect talent on day one. We do not expect a kid who already knows the game. We expect effort and a good attitude, because those are the two things that actually predict who improves. Skill we can teach. The rest your child brings.

Losing is part of it too. Some games will not go their way, and that is where a lot of the real growth happens. Learning to lose with composure and come back the next week is one of the best things soccer gives a kid.
