The McLean U.S. Soccer Development Academy Program proudly announces several additions to its coaching staff.  Joining the MPS coaching staff, including Clyde Watson (MYS Technical Director) German Peri, and Marcelo Valencia, the MYS Development Academy staff for the program’s second year will now include top coaches from area professional, collegiate, high school and club soccer communities.

For the 2010-2011 season, the club welcomes Zachary Samol, Georgetown University Men’s Soccer Assistant Coach, as the Academy Director.  Coach Samol brings two years of experience as a Head Coach of U-15/16 and U-17/18 teams within the US Soccer Development Academy program. 

Anthony Hudson, current Head Coach of Real Maryland (a USL Second Division Professional Club), will be the program’s U-17/18 Head Coach.  Coach Hudson is a former professional player, and one of the youngest coaches ever to obtain the prestigious UEFA A license from the English Football Association. 

John O’Hara, Assistant Coach at George Mason University, has been added as a member of the coaching staff.  A native of Ireland, Coach O’Hara attended Mason where he earned numerous honors as a Goalkeeper culminating in his 2009 induction into the Men’s Soccer Hall of Fame at his alma mater. 

Assisting the coaching staff on the administrative side is Melissa
Riemer, who has over ten years of travel team and club administration, including two years of experience as a Development Academy administrator.

The U.S. Soccer Development Academy is a partnership between U.S. Soccer and the top youth clubs around the country to provide the best youth players in the U.S. with an every day environment designed to produce the next generation of National Team players. The Academy’s programming philosophy of increased training, less total games and more competitive games is based on U.S. Soccer’s Best Practices.  McLean Youth Soccer was selected as an Academy club by U.S. Soccer in 2009. 
 
Tryouts for the McLean Development Academy program’s 2010-2011 season will begin the week of June 21.
