Coaches
All Celtic coaches are licensed under Ohio South and USSF (United States Soccer Federation) and attend on-going training. New unlicensed coaches are expected to obtain the F License prior to the spring season. All Celtic players train with their team coaches and receive additional professional training under the direction of Jeff Popp and the professional training staff. Most team coaches are volunteers and devote many hours to developing our young soccer talent.
Those wishing to coach next year (both new and returning coaches) must submit a completed Coaching Application form to Jeff Popp (see forms below).
