Hello United! We’re excited to introduce the lead coaches for the upcoming 2026/2027 season. This outstanding group brings more than 400 years of combined coaching experience along with a wide range of U.S. Soccer Federation coaching licenses across every age group. Beyond the field, our coaches are parents, lawyers, engineers, researchers, entrepreneurs, and community leaders who are deeply connected to the Davis community.
Each team has a lead coach who is responsible for organizing and leading training sessions, managing games, and supporting the development of players both on and off the field. Lead coaches are supported by assistant coaches, and together they work throughout the season to create a positive and development-focused environment.
We’ve listed coaches for every team we anticipate forming based on current tryout signups. As tryouts progress, additional teams may be added if we believe the player experience will be positive (competitive and fun). Families signed up for tryouts will receive regular updates—often daily during tryouts—on the team formation process.
