15 Williamsburg Soccer Club Players and Coaches Complete Coaching Courses
WSC Hosts National Soccer Coaches Association of America Regional Coaching Course

The Williamsburg Soccer Club (WSC) hosted the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSACC) Regional Coaching Course this past weekend at Walsingham Academy. The course was instructed by both Al Albert, former William and Mary head coach, and Chris Norris, current William and Mary head coach on both Saturday and Sunday. 29 people attended the course on a cold weekend and 12 of those candidates were either WSC players or coaches. Those who participated from the WSC coaching staff were, Doug Dahnke, Seth Jenkins, Brent Trainum and Kenny Whitehead. There were also a number of Williamsburg Legacy and former WSC youth players including Bryan Davis, Andrew Hoxie, Michael Krewinghaus, Brannon Thomas and Shawn Trueblood. Three current WSC players also took the course, Jason Brown, Michael Ferebee and Derek Hanson who all play for the U17 ’88 Wizards. 

Three coaches from the club were fortunate to spend the past week in Fort Lauderdale, Florida at the NSCAA Residential Academy. Bobby O’Brien, the new Assistant Director of Coaching, undertook the National Diploma while two longtime WSC coaches, Tom Finley and Mike Scruggs, attended the Advanced National Diploma. “It is very nice to see coaches and players getting more and more educated about our game,” said Richard Butler, Director of Coaching. “The NSCAA offers some good coaching courses both on a regional and national level. By taking the time to attend these courses these guys have shown a commitment to soccer and to try and stay up to date with coaching methodology and it can only help our players”
