Basic Information

NDUSC is entirely run by volunteers from the community and this is especially so for our club coaches and assistant coaches. Our organization could not operate the soccer program without their efforts, so please support them with patience and understanding. If you are interested in taking an active role in your child’s team, we offer free recreational coaching clinics. Please consider volunteering your time to make this a successful season! It doesn't work without you.
Participation as a Recreational coach provides the opportunity for any interested parent or volunteer to learn coaching principles, gain an appreciation for the game, receive an introduction to the NDUSC program, and most importanty, experience the rewards that come with coaching a youth sports team.
