Coach Appreciation

Pre-Spring each year, NSC recognizes the efforts and commitment of our volunteer coaches, while honoring some long standing members of our soccer community. This has become an annual tradition, hosted and Needham Golf Club featuring dinner, guest speakers and awards

Wednesday March 19th, saw Needham Soccer Club host our annual coaches appreciation dinner at Needham Golf Club.

Around 100 current coaches, club board/staff, plus special guests, including past coaches, presidents and board members were in attendance to celebrate all things Needham Soccer, and recognize some long serving members of our Soccer Community.

The event has become a yearly “pre-spring” tradition to show appreciation to both our current crop of coaches and some key contributors to our club over the years.

We also held a raffle on the night, with winning numbers picking up New England Revolution tickets, and other swag!

New England Revolution Defender Andrew Farrell (pictured with NSC President, Joe Adu) was our guest speaker, giving insight on his career, background and the impact of youth and senior coaches in shaping players and people.

A big Thank You to Andrew (The Revs’ all time leader in appearances) for coming out to speak.

Former NSC President and Coach, Eric Meyers was honored as the recipient of the Don Brock Award – For Outstanding Contribution To Needham Soccer Club and The youth of Needham.

Also honored:

Brenda Salamone Community Service Award, in recognition of giving back through charitable causes and community Service.

Courtney Willett & Charlie Hurwitch Appreciation Award for years of service as a NSC Board Members and Coaches.

Thank You Coaches!!
