The VSA Board has anounced the hiring of Gus Donolo as the new VSA Technical Director who will oversee all coach and player development initiatives. "We are delighted to have Gus on our team as we move forward with important steps in making VSA the premier soccer club in Northern Virginia", says Dave Milne VSA President. "I’m very impressed with Gus’ talents but particularly with his ability to relate to the kids and help them to reach their full potential". As owner of "Soccer the Brazilian Way" Gus is already a familiar face around the VSA fields. As a player, Gus rose to the top ranks of South American soccer playing on first division teams in Brazil and Argentina. As a coach, Gus has led several youth teams to State and National Championships.
Gus will get right to work managing travel team tryouts this June and establishing the beginnings of our new Academy Program for travel players. In addition, Gus will be preparing a comprehensive, age appropriate training manual for each of our recreation program age groups, will begin planning the coach training clinics for the Fall season, and will conduct several summer camp sessions at Long Park for players.
Please give Gus a warm welcome when you encounter him!
