What I love about coaching for STAR Soccer Club

Getting to coach for STAR Soccer Club has helped me grow immensely as a person as well as a coach.  The club's mindset of player development is something that I have grown accustomed to since the beginning of high school.  This position has given me a great oppportunity to strengthen my shared philosophies with the club as well as teach players and parents the beauty of the sport.  What I love most is being in a mentoring position both on and off the field.

What I love about coaching for STAR Soccer Club

I have been with STAR SC since the club started and have stayed with the club because coaching with this club has always been a positive experience for me. The organization is sound, the training offered is consistently at a high level, the players work hard and have great attitudes, and the parents are generally positive and supportive. STAR SC proves that you don’t have to spend a fortune to be competitive and have a great soccer experience.
