Our Coaching Leadership Structure
At Lakota FC, our organizational structure is designed to provide players with a clear pathway for development, guided by a dedicated coaching leadership team. At the top, our Technical Director of Coaching (TDC) ensures consistency in training philosophy, coaching standards, and player evaluations across all age groups. Supporting this vision, our Directors of Coaching (DOC) oversee specific age divisions, managing coach development, player placement, and team progression. At the team level, our Head Coaches are responsible for directly training players, implementing club methodologies, and fostering competitive growth.
Our Coaching Philosophy: Elevate, Inspire, Transform
High-Caliber Coaches
We believe that success starts with expert coaching and strong leadership. That’s why we seek out experienced, passionate coaches who bring innovation, knowledge, and a commitment to player development.
Player-Centric Approach
Our coaches are mentors, not just instructors. They prioritize the holistic growth of each player, focusing on technical skills, tactical awareness, and sportsmanship to develop well-rounded athletes.
This structured coaching framework ensures every player receives the best possible training and a pathway for long-term success in the game.
