Our coaches are the backbone of who we are. We hire the best coaches possible and support their education with national licensing clinics, workshops and seminars. The coaches at the Select level of the CCSA will be under the direction of (TBD), Select Director of Coaching, to ensure quality and compliance with the standards, philosophy and curriculum of the CCSA. The coaches at the Recreation level of the CCSA will be under the direction of Eddie Carmean, Recreation Director of Coaching and CCSA Director of Soccer Operations along with Brian Glass, Recreation Assistant Director of Coaching.
