Our Coaches
JEROMY WALK
HEAD COACH
I began coaching youth soccer in 2006 when I registered my oldest son for a recreational soccer league. I received a phone call from the league director asking for my help in coaching a team because there were not enough coaches. Needless to say, I took the opportunity, and I am still coaching 16 years later. Here are some of the highlights of my experiences as a coach.

I have had the privilege of coaching this particular group of boys for the past two years. This team has players of incredible diversity and parents that support their sons with undying devotion. My goal is to see every boy on this team go on to college and become accomplished student athletes.
