Our Coaches
Heart of the City is proud of the roster of professional coaches who serve our student-athletes everyday. Their experience and knowledge of the game is critical in ensuring our player development goals are met. Moreover, our coaches are positive role models and care deeply about imparting key life skills through the game of soccer. Our coaches are professionally certified, but also receive a variety of additional training on youth mental health, positive youth development, and other training needed to support young student-athletes holistically.
