What are the qualifications of the Blast coaching staff?
Jamie Ferguson, the Blast Director of Coaching (DOC), grew up playing in his native England. As a player he made numerous appearances in the FA Cup in England and twice participated in the U.S. Open Cup. Ferguson is a two-time All American at the University of Mobile and a member of their 2002 National Championship team. As DOC, Coach Ferguson is responsible for the player development curriculum as well as hiring and supervising staff coaches. We are fortunate to have many qualified coaches along the Gulf Coast. Each coach has taken soccer coaching courses geared toward the development of youth soccer at different levels. In order to successfully complete these courses the coach must be complete both a field evaluation and written examination to receive the appropriate license.
