Youth Soccer 360 - Tom McGuinness, Coach

Tom is the Head Coach for the women's team at Daniel Webster College in Nashua, NH.

Here's a clip from an article called "Building from bottom up" from the Nashua Telegraph that provides some background:

Daniel Webster College has a schedule and a new coach – former Mount Ida head man and Keene State assistant Tom McGuinness, who has deep roots in the soccer community. There are enough players – at least a dozen – to play an independent slate until the program builds itself back up again to the point where it can rejoin the Great Northeast Athletic Conference.

Mount Ida, a junior college, never had sports before and McGuinness put together a program that built a 40-16-3 record and made it to the national tournament. Then he spent six years as the head coach at Bridgewater (Mass.) State College, where he captured two conference championships and went 53-51-5. He also spent three years at Fitchburg (Mass.) State, where he went 18-34-1. He’s also been president of the New England Women’s Intercollegiate Soccer Association the last six years, and has continued to coach club soccer.

Youth Soccer 360 - Tim McGuinness

Tim is an business suit in the Internet business. He knows enough about soccer to have some comments, but most importantly he knew how to build the web site and then get out of Tom's way, so Tom could handle the content. Tim lives in the Washington D.C. area. Tim created SoccerClub! in 1996 as a training tool for himself, but it has provided over 10 years of assistance to new coaches and parents.
