Shawn Burke

Introduction
    
The DSC is looking to provide options to help our coaches.  One way is to identify skilled premier or college level coaches that each team can use.  If you have any questions or concerns regarding these resources, please contact any DSC board member.  The DSC Board hopes that this opportunity will help the development of our coaches and strengthen our teams for the future.
    Shawn used to be our Director of Coaching and provided quality instruction and information.  Shawn is already familiar to some coaches, and he in turn is familiar with our Club and teams.  His fee structure is provided below.     

Dear Coaches,
    I would like to take the time to introduce myself.  My name is Shawn Burke and my goal is to raise the overall quality of youth coaching.
    My goal is to instruct, provide and increase coaching knowledge to maximize the development of our youth soccer players.  The number one objective is for me to assist you in creating more ways to coach.  Through coaching clinics and along with your team trainings and games, I hope to promote new ideas and coaching tactics.
    I can take questions, discuss ideas, and improve the overall quality of coaching for your team.  Not even the most experienced coach knows everything.  We are all together for the benefit of our young players.  As coaches we should strive to learn from the game, our players and from one another.  We are in a valuable role as teachers, mentors and friends.  Lets work together to make every players experience memorable.
