Jerry Caldwell – Finalist for the 2012 Indiana Soccer Boys Recreational Coach of the Year Award

Posted: Jan, 2013
His positive, “can do” attitude inspires the players and the parents alike.  No matter what the situation, Jerry maintains a positive outlook. He is a highly requested coach that the parents regularly want to teach their children.   He maintains not just the highest standards of teaching the game but also maintains coaching as a fundamentals approach—the players need to know the skills of the game and can excel in those.  Jerry assures that those skills are conveyed to the players.  Players, in turn, like his positive approach to their skills training and the reinforcement that he gives.  One of his regular approaches is, during hot-weather practices and games; he makes sure that “Popsicles” are available to the kids.  He gives selflessly to them.

Dave Bradley – Finalist for the 2012Indiana Soccer Boys Recreational Coach of the Year Award

Posted: Jan, 2013
Dave Bradley has served as a coach in the Greenfield Area Soccer Club for many years.  He continually is a popular and requested coach with players and parents.  He excels in his ability to communicate the fundamental skills of the game and this reflects in not just his popularity among players but in his players’ performance. Dave has always been able to communicate effectively with all skill levels, works diligently with those players who are not as skilled and brings them to a higher level on a consistent, season by season, basis.  He demands excellence from his players, but does so in a manner that is both compassionate and directed.  He epitomizes the word “teacher” along with being a coach.

Greg Russel – Finalist for the 2012 Indiana Soccer Girls Recreational Coach of the Year Award

Posted: Jan, 2013
 

Greg Russell has served as both the U-15/18 coach and its commissioner for many years.  The league began as a small segment of the Greenfield Area Soccer Club with just a few players.  He has managed to grow the league into what is currently one of our larger groups

Greg also gives selflessly to mission trips to Haiti where he works with children there on soccer programs, regularly extending his teaching skills to them.  Within the past month, he formulated the idea of taking stored uniforms, cleats and trophies to Haiti to give children who lack not just shirts, but cleats (as the players not only play barefoot but do so in stones) to help these children further enjoy the game.

Charlie Joyce – Winner of the 2012 Indiana Soccer TOPSoccer Buddy of the Year Award!

Posted: Jan, 2013

The recipient of this award is honored as the person that has gone above and beyond when working alongside athletes with exceptional needs in the TOPSoccer Program.  Charlie has fundamentally developed our TOPSoccer program and has taken the initiative to promote our TOPSoccer program to the community via different outreach programs.

Charlie has organized and developed relationships with our local FUSE organization (Families United for Support and Encouragement) to help bring our TOPSoccer program to as many families as we can reach.

Charlie takes pride in recruiting Buddy’s for our TOPSoccer program and works with them to pass along the knowledge he has gained from the past two TOPSoccer coaches clinics he has attended. Charlie coaches the kids in an Academy style format where at first we are working with everyone as a big group. He will always take the time to work individually with either an athlete or a buddy to make sure they are performing the correct soccer move. Charlie makes sure that even the littlest athlete gets a chance to have the ball and get a shot on the goal.

Charlie not only is the our TOPSoccer coach but has spent his time as a Board member on both Greenfield Area Soccer Club and USF Real boards, is the Assistant Fields manager for Greenfield Area Soccer Club and is the Travel director for USF Real soccer club. As you can see, his time and energy is spread pretty thin, but nothing will let him miss a TOPSoccer event.

Howard Green – Winner of the Indiana Soccer Highest Award… The J Fredrich Good of Soccer Award!

Posted: Jan, 2013
 

The recipient of this award has made a significant contribution to youth soccer in the state of Indiana over a long period of time. The effect of this person’s dedication will be seen for years to come.  This award is also given to individuals that give extraordinary effort to a specific event or program over a relatively short period of time.

Howard is a founding father of our soccer club 20 years ago. He has worked hand in hand with the Greenfield Parks and Recreation department to secure our future in Hancock County.  Howard has had and continues to have such an impact within Hancock County that the city of Greenfield recognized his dedication to the youth of Hancock County by officially dedicating our Field 6, our best lighted field, as the Howard B. Green field.

The passion Howard has for developing the youth into not only great soccer players and great referees is only matched by his drive to give them the experience to develop life skills that will serve them well into adulthood.

Howard has been involved in many different roles, he has held every position in the club; President, Treasurer, Referee Assignor, Travel Director, and uniform coordinator. He has coached both the recreational and travel programs and loves to referee both as well.
