The Matrix is a carefully assembled group of coaches that represent the present and future of the Omaha coaching community. The members of the Matrix have typically played on varsity soccer teams, played collegiate ball and currently coach high school teams, college teams or high level club teams and have gone through American coaching certification.
We’d like to introduce you to the members of the Matrix. The members of this group are passionate about soccer and coaching young people, and if they aren’t already earning livelihoods from the sport, either plan to do so or at a minimum, make it a vocation that occupies their non-working time. The Matrix has been initiated with the express purpose of becoming the most well staffed soccer program around. Please support this group strongly. They are our coaching future and will in time occupy the coaching ranks of the majority of our competitive and select teams. Clubs and academies are only as strong as their coaching core, and so the credentials of the Matrix members signal to the community our intent to be the pre-eminent soccer development outlet for youth in Omaha.
