Coaching Staff Announced for 2010/2011

Empire United’s coaching staff is a collection of the best coaches available in western New York. They bring with them playing and coaching experiences at the highest level the game has to offer. We have current and former professional and collegiate players and coaches from all across the country. We rotate our coaching staff every two to three years to ensure our players have a full spectrum of styles and approaches to the game.

All coaches working with each team are selected by the Director of Coaching. Parents are not permitted to train or coach any team without prior approval.    

The head coach assignments are subject to change before the start of tryouts, but rarely change thereafter.  Assistant coaches are all tentative and will likely change based on tryout numbers and which age groups will demand multiple coaches.
