U8/U10 Soccer Coach

While this is Melyssa’s first year coaching softball, she coached soccer in her early 20’s. She’s also coached U4 with FDSA, and U7 indoor soccer with the YMCA. This year, Melyssa’s daughter wanted to try softball, so she volunteered to coach as something to do together. Her age group already had two coaches, so instead she volunteered to coach U5. Now her daughter helps her coach the younger kids, and Melyssa gets to watch her daughter practice after.

Melyssa is a Business Instructor at NBCC, and loves facilitating a fun, safe, and respectable learning environment for her students. She strives to be flexible in her teaching style and adapts lessons to her students needs. She says the work she does is very rewarding, especially when her students take time out of their day to say how much they enjoyed a class, or to thank her for my support. She finds the same joy in volunteer coaching; helping kids learn something new all while having fun!
