Coaching Staff of Santa Cruz Soccer Camp

Our dedicated coaching staff is a dynamic combination of soccer players and educators. Our staff is trained in the art of positive disciple and our SCSC-developed philosophy of 'learning though enjoyment'. The majority of our staff are graduates of our very own Leadership Program , and most have attended camp as youth. Our two Directors are both Credentialed teachers, and many of our coaches work or volunteer within Santa Cruz City and Pajaro Valley Unified School Districts. Staff members attend training sessions leading up to the summer where they learn group instructional strategies as well as how to implement our curriculum of skill/drill/game.
