Coaching Staff

u003ch2u003eProfessional Coaching Supportu003c/h2u003enu003cpu003eToday’s demands on community soccer clubs are just too great for one professional head coach or technical director. In 2012, the then Tsawwassen Soccer Club revamped its technical delivery structure with the help of former Team Canada interim assistant coach and player Mark Rogers. The club hired several professional coaches to provide increased on-field support to its volunteer coaches. This same structure was adopted in 2016 by the newly formed South Delta United Soccer Club. Today, both our coaches and players benefit from this extra support. Indeed, we know of no other nearby club that offers this calibre of professional coaching support. Those hired to work for SDU are some of the most respected names in BC soccer.u003c/pu003enu003chr /u003e
