Franciscan Soccer Club

FSC Coaches

"Coaching is teaching, and depending upon the level of the team, a good coach knows what to teach them and how to teach it to them."
Tony Reynoso, Director FSC

The Franciscan Soccer Club encourages all people to consider coaching some day. It is one of the great things adults can do for themselves. Franciscan also believes that people who want to coach at the competitive levels should have the appropriate backgrounds too because coaching at this level takes upon a different meaning compared to Rec level soccer. Children who show the desire, and want to aspire to reach their fullest potential at soccer, need a coach who has the appropriate level playing experience and teaching skills to show them how to get there.
