Congratulations to our Fall 2024 Coaches of the Season! We are proud to have you on our team and applaud your continued commitment to the development of our players! The following coaches were nominated by their team for going above and beyond the duty "coach" and selected to receive a gift certificate to SOCCER.com!

Here's what some of our parents and players had to say about their Coach of the Season


Following are excerpts from some of the nominations received for coaches for both the Challenge and Recreation programs.

Recreation

Kindergarten • Aaron White

"It is with great enthusiasm that I nominate Aaron White to be the Coach of the Season. He has shown an extraordinary knack for relating to the kids, cultivating a lively and positive environment that empowers each player to excel. I genuinely believe that Aaron's unwavering commitment to our young athletes makes him deserving of this honor."

8th Grade • Rui Fonseca

"As a coach, Rui has helped create an environment where the kids have fun while improving there skills. He does a very great job at keeping the kids in a good mood and helping them to all feel like part of a real team. At the same time as fostering this fun environment he also pushes them to improve themselves. He balances the fun and development for the kids amazingly."

High School • Peter Anderson

"Coach Chris has coached for several seasons with our girls. He is very positive and supportive. The core group of girls under his guidance have learned how to work together as a team and trust and support each other. Our team has grown in number and skills each season. We continue to come back because of him. He has made a huge impact in my daughter's life and I am so appreciative of his time and support."

Challenge

U11 • Heidi Roeser

"Coach Heidi's passion and expertise for the game developed the girls' soccer understanding and skills. Moreover, her warm nature created an environment for the girls to love the game and their team. The Blast's bond is beyond that of the first year team that they are; and that is because of Coach Heidi's excellent coaching. Coach Heidi embodies what it means to be a good coach, she is a teacher, mentor, and encourager. She challenges the girls to grow, but always with a positive attitude."

U13 • Andrew Yeakey

"Coach Andrew did an amazing job with our girls this year. He had a huge lift to combine and developed a team with a large number of new players. He helped our new girls to feel welcomed and incorporated before day 1. My daughter’s confidence in the goal has significantly increased due to his focused coaching. We can’t wait for next season and he will always be coach of the year to us!!"

HS • Phil Fintchre

"Coach Phil is the heart of our team! I would not be the player I am today without him. He always goes above and beyond, scouting other teams, waking up extra early to prep for tournaments and showing up no matter what. He makes an effort to form deeper connections with everyone on our team. He has attended many of my cheerleading games and my teammates plays, games and other extra curriculars!"

Thank you, coaches!
