TNT Dynamite Coaching Staff

The TNT Dynamite Soccer Club attracts and employs the top coaches in the area. Under the direction of Todd Derby (USSF “A” License) we use certified coaches -- many who also coach college or high school soccer -- who are positive role models and know how to win with sportsmanship and integrity. All of our coaches are evaluated regularly, share feedback and ideas with each other, and participate in our continuing education program.

Members of our coaching staff have a wealth of experience and accomplishments -- from both coaching and playing -- that include:

USSF National “A,” “B,” and “C” Licenses
MSYSA ODP and Instructional Staff Members
USSF Bob McNulty Award, given to coaches who best exemplify the spirit of and devotion to coaching
College playing and coaching experience
