the coaches
Zach Tazi:
Head Coach
Zack has been deeply involved in soccer since he was just four years old, playing on several different club teams throughout his youth and continuing through high school and one season at the collegiate level. His passion for the sport naturally led him into coaching, where he has spent the past nine years working with various age groups. During that time, he had the rewarding experience of taking two struggling programs and transforming them into highly competitive varsity soccer teams. His dedication and leadership have been recognized with three Coach of the Year awards in Yonkers. Soccer has always been a central part of his life, and he is especially passionate about the progression of the sport and the positive impact it can have on young athletes. It is incredibly important to me to see youth engaged in athletics—particularly soccer—as it builds not only skill but also character, teamwork, and resilience.
