Meet The Coaches

Hey there Soccer Friends and Families! My name is Coach Jack! I am both the Coaching Coordinator and a Coach here at Soccer Shots NYC Central! I was actually in Soccer Shots when I was a kid way back in 2007, so I guess you could say I was always destined to come back! My favorite food is steak, my favorite color is jade green, and my favorite soccer team is FC Bayern Munich! To me the best thing about coaching with Soccer Shots is getting to watch children grow in both soccer skills and personal development (and stickers…Coach Jack loves stickers)! I look forward to seeing you all on Soccer Island!

Hello! My name is Coach Sydney! I am a coach here at Soccer Shots NYC Central. I’ve been playing soccer for 7 years now, so I definitely have some experience under my belt. I’m Brooklyn born and raised. My favorite food is tacos, and my favorite soccer team is the US Women’s National Team! One thing I value as a coach with Soccer Shots is the opportunity to build relationships teaching young soccer players and watching them blossom! Looking forward to meeting all our new soccer friends!

My name is Gabby and I’m currently finishing my doctorate in physical therapy, something I felt called to pursue when I fell in love with soccer as a child! My all-time favorite soccer player is Messi, but I also love Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe. Besides soccer, I like to watch rom coms, try new restaurants, sing and dance to Taylor Swift, and hang out with friends in my free time! My favorite part about coaching with Soccer Shots is the emphasis of inclusion, having fun, and watching the kids progress throughout the season!

Hey there Soccer Friends & Families! My name is Coach Matt and I am super excited to be working with you this season! I have been involved with soccer since I was 8 years old and was fortunate enough to play college soccer at Penn State. I am originally from New Jersey but I have been living in NYC for 5+ years. My favorite food is pasta and my favorite color is navy blue. My favorite team is Manchester United and my favorite player is Cristiano Ronaldo. Outside of soccer I enjoy playing golf and surfing! To me the best thing about coaching with Soccer Shots is helping children grow in both soccer skills and personal development. Looking forward to seeing everyone this season!
