🚨 BIG NEWS FOR PRSC 🚨 We’re proud to announce that Coach Jimmy Disalle has been promoted to Director of Player Development for Porter Ridge Soccer Club! 👏⚽ In this role, Coach Jimmy will work with both players and coaches to help drive development across the club, with a primary focus on our Youth Academy system this season. 💼 Experience: • 2 seasons in the Premier Development League (now USL 2) • Collegiate soccer at Buena Vista University • Previously coached at Woodbury Soccer Club (MN) 🗣️ Coach Jimmy said: “Having been at Porter Ridge for a few years now, the vision of this club and its leadership became clear to me. Players first. It seems simple, but so many other clubs I’ve been a part of don’t always see the value in this. They prioritize winning and losing, even at the academy level. Throughout my life, whether it was in club, college or beyond, I’ve been fortunate enough to play for many great coaches from different parts of the world and different backgrounds. My goal is to take these experiences and mold them into something that will help these players today and beyond. I’m incredibly thankful for this opportunity to work with all the Academy players and coaches at PRAA and I cannot wait to take it to the field.” 🗣️ Director of Soccer Jake Roberts said: “We are delighted to have Coach Jimmy come on board with us in this increased capacity. Jimmy brings a passion for development, and directly matches the club ethos. I have no doubt that our players’ development will be enhanced by Jimmy’s presence in the Academy this season.” Join us in congratulating Coach Jimmy on this well-earned promotion! 💜🖤 #PRAASoccer #couragecommitmentcommunity

Introducing your 2025-2026 Coach of the Year: Lindsy Taylor 🏆⚽ This first-of-its-kind award recognizes a coach who goes above and beyond — and this year, that honor belongs to Lindsy Taylor. Lindsy was nominated by fellow coaches, current players, parents, and team managers for this prestigious award, a true reflection of the incredible impact she has made on and off the field. Here’s what some of those who nominated her had to say: “She has confidence in my daughter and knew exactly how to pull the game out of her.” “She’s not just a soccer coach, she is a life coach to these girls.” “Her coaching style emphasizes growth, sportsmanship, and mental well-being, making her a role model who goes above and beyond to support the team.” “For Lindsy, coaching is more than a role, it is a calling — and you can tell she takes that calling seriously.” “I feel very proud that my daughter is part of her team.” “Her influence will be felt long after the final whistle, making her more than deserving of this recognition.” Director of Soccer, Jake Roberts, shared: “Congratulations on a very well-deserved award! I can think of no one that puts their blood, sweat, and tears into the girls that come through your teams more than you. You inspire a generation of athletes to be their very best, whilst also making them feel seen and heard. You've produced so many success stories for girls both on and off the field, and I can confidently say that there has not been a single girl who has bought in and not had their life transformed for the better.” Here’s to you, Lindsy! 👏🖤💜 #PRAASoccer #couragecommitmentcommunity @nc_youthsoccer @union_academy_charter
