2024 City SC Coaching Staff
The 2024 City SC Coach Education Day took place on Saturday, May 4, with an early morning classroom session at the Station Church in Carlsbad that included presentations from Mario Fernandez, Director of Football Growth – San Diego FC, Joe Smith, Technical Director – City SC Temecula, and Mickey Pejcik, National Coach Educator – US Soccer. The event then moved over to Aviara Community Park for lunch and then field demonstrations from various City SC guest coaches.
With the largest attendance to date, over 100 coaches from the various City SC clubs, this yearly coach education symposium is paramount to the City SC competitive program and is the official start of the yearly periodization plan and age specific coaching curriculum. The classroom and field sessions aim to unite and develop our coaching staff around the club culture, coaching methodology and style of play.
“Saturday was a fantastic day of coaching development, and it was great to see the coaches from all the SoCal City SC clubs come together to collaborate and learn from one another”, said City SC Technical Director, Steve Cowell. “The event affirmed just what a talented and enthusiastic group of coaches we have here at City SC and I am excited to see them achieve our vision of igniting a lifelong passion for soccer in every City SC player!”
Although an event for our coaches, the ultimate beneficiaries from Coach Education Day are the City SC players.
