“We are constantly amazed by Coach James’ commitment to his players and his passion for excellence! He is extraordinarily kind and patient with the girls and his positive attitude and love of the game helps his players want to excel themselves. During this challenging time, he never once showed any frustration, whether it was trying to engage a group of Kindergarten/1st Grade girls via Zoom, or in communicating tough news. He exhibits the utmost professionalism. Not only is Coach James committed to the sport and to coaching, but he has also worked hard to develop himself as a coach, and we have been delighted to see his achievements, with new responsibilities. We cannot be more happy to have Coach James be our daughter’s coach!”

“Through all these recent events, he has maintained his enthusiasm and pride for improvement whether it be in the Zoom meetings or on the field workouts. Not being able to practice in a normal setting is tough to maintain a level for improvement. He hasn’t missed a beat, energy is same high level and he works with whatever situation or hurdle is before us as we all navigate these trying times. Extremely happy we made the move and have James as our first experience with Liverpool Club.”

“Coach Sam is so dedicated to his craft. He shares his own stories to motivate the kids on and off the field. He encourages them to do their best and is never negative.”

“Coach Sam is always supportive, encouraging and positive with the kids. We are lucky to have him coaching our team and looking forward to resuming field training soon.”

“He has improved my soccer sills immensely and has extremely good advice.”

“Sam works to create an environment that motivates each player to reach their highest potential, both as an individual player and as a member of the team. He uses different techniques and styles of coaching to make sure he addresses all their needs in the process of them becoming better players.”

“Coach Sam has been Very uplifting and Optimistic thru out all of these unprecedented times with a huge smile and humor with integrity at the core. He deserves Coach of the Month for being a Role Model for these Kids”

“I nominate Liam Brader for coach of the month because he went above and beyond and demonstrated commitment, respect, belief, and leadership to our B2006 team during the Spring COVID quarantine/ shut down starting the first day. Specifically, Liam organized daily team workouts and kept players motivated & accountable by asking each player to submit a video + result of their regular exercise to the entire team via WhatsApp.    This program was in addition to the regular training and zoom meetings organized by the club.   Going on nearly 90 days, Liam provided nearly 1400+ (90×16) individual feedbacks to each player’s video and result in WhatsApp for all players and parents to see and respond.  I have not heard of anyone else doing this, and I imagine it took hours each day to review the videos and comment. ”  

“We are new to coach Liam’s team and I can say that it’s a refreshing change from where we came from. In the short time that he has been my son’s coach I have noticed a positive change in my son. My son is no longer playing in fear but playing more free. Liam was quick to identify Connor’s strengths and weaknesses and use it to the teams advantage. He was lucky enough to play in National Cup with the 08’s and was so happy that he was able to play more than one position. Liam showed me that he is patient and passionate with the kids. During the covid break Liam continued to communicate with the team daily with exercises and drills. He also called to check in on my son to make sure we were ok. I am so looking forward to an exciting season of growth and success with Liam.”

“When Johnny was asked to try out for the club after she attended a camp, we were hesitant. We had heard some pretty bad stories about coaches and families once you go to club level. Luckily, Johnny was selected for Jamie’s team and we have had the best experience! So much so that two of our other daughters now play for Liverpool. Jamie cares so much about these girls and their development, not just as soccer players, but as people. Jamie creates a great learning environment.He really has that great balance of making training fun and keeping the girls accountable at the same time. Trust me, those girls know when it’s time to get to work! Johnny has grown so much as a player since she has been with Jamie, it’s amazing. She’s learned so much about the game, reading the field, reading teammates, skills just keep improving and he’s given her the ability to play in three different positions to keep her learning while still elevating team play. He gives his players opportunities to develop in all areas. He doesn’t pigeon hole them, he lets them develop. Jamie leads with a warmth and passion and easily motivates his teams. He loves the game and it shows in his coaching and it’s infectious! He handles himself beautifully on the sidelines even when none of us would blame him for losing it! He really strives to lead by example and it shows in our girls play and presentation on the field. Jamie really is a gem and we appreciate him very much. There’s no question in our minds he should be recognized for all he does and who he is. He’s a big donut and we love him!”

“Coach Rose has been so diligent in keeping the team active, upbeat, and informed especially with the current circumstances of the Covid-19 Pandemic. With the approaching return to the fields and training he has been very professional about preparing his teams for readiness. Given their younger age (9) it is with great care that he has brought a sense of normalcy to their lives and kept the virtual training regimens fun and instructive.”
