AYSO United Davis' coaches embody our high standards for Character, Professionalism, Team Management, Player Development, Technical Knowledge and Tactical Prowess. They are all committed to on-going coach education and all believe in and wonderfully represent AYSO's Core Philosophies.

The 2024/2025 United coaches bring equally impressive off-the-field and on-field experience to the pitch. Their soccer backgrounds range from recent collegiate players to high school players with nearly 20 years of coaching experience to former semi-professional players. Away from soccer, they are accomplished parents, researchers, consultants, engineers, teachers, entrepreneurs, public servants and more. They are all dedicated to the United mission, and they are excited to grow with their teams over the next year.  Based on tryouts AYSO United Davis is prepared to form additional teams; our goal in forming additional teams is to ensure that there are enough players seeking a year round experience and that the team formed will be placed well in a NorCal Premier league competition level. 

Every AYSO United Davis team will have two or more experienced coaches.  The list below represents the lead coaches of each team that have been approved for our teams next year at each age group.

We solicit club feedback in Fall and Spring seasons and one thing consistently stands out: coaching. Here from some parents below.


Some Fall 2023 Survey Comments: 

Really appreciate the level of commitment, communication, and positivity that the coaches bring. The girls feel genuinely safe and supported and the atmosphere is one of fun and positivity.

The coaches are kind, encouraging and motivating - something special in those half time meetings!

Coaches and supporting staff have been doing a great job in keeping kids motivated and excited while teaching them soccer and overall life skills.

My son enjoys his coaches and teammates and is getting a chance to try some new things on the pitch that he didn’t last year.

Positive and fun team atmosphere, supportive and communicative coach, daughter is increasingly motivated to improve
