Jimmy:

My passion to coach was born from the desire to support our youth as a positive leader and role model as they transition from children to adulthood. I ask for discipline, commitment, hard work, humility, and accountability. All characteristics that will help the players to succeed on and off the field. As I have developed in the sport I have grown the love for teaching the game. Beyond telling the player to “do it”, I strive to teach the player “how we do it” and “why we do it”. Our game is constantly evolving and I hope to continue that evolution within myself as a coach alongside the players that I have the opportunity to work with.

Ricardo:

I coach for the love of the game.  Soccer is has been a big part of my life and continues to be a big part of my family’s life.  The discipline, commitment, and lifestyle that the game provides applies to everything.  That’s why I believe my kids live a structured lives with a solid foundation.

I strive to teach and develop the kids to play the game the right way. I want all my players to apply the same discipline and commitment to their everyday lives. I hope to influence our players to be good sons and daughters and good people overall. And of course, one day to succeed as student athletes in high school and hopefully college.
