Coaching Staff announcement

VSA is proud to announce the 2016-2017 Elite Coaching Slate. We are delighted to continue moving forward as a club and have worked hard to continue our goal of club, team and player development. VSA has recruited and retained  some of the very best coaches in the state and we have numerous coaches with the highest level of qualifications and a unique blend of experience and enthusiasm. With the upcoming age group changes implemented by US Soccer, it is a unique time for players and we are enthused by the opportunity to continue to provide stability and an environment that encourages competitive play and enjoyable player development. 

"We are very happy with the staff that we have been able to put together. This year has been a very enjoyable year for our coaching staff and we have created a strong working relationship between the group. Our ultimate goal as a club is to have the best coaches in the area working with our players, I believe that we have taken another step forward to completing this long term goal. The criteria for coaching a VSA team is continually evolving and with this the standards have been raised to a new level. We expect great things with all of our staff and are excited for the Fall" commented Matt Lacey, Technical Director
