Matthew May

Matthew May has successfully coached within youth development and competitive age groups over the years. As a former soccer player, he looks forward to developing the youth by sharing the knowledge, skills, and abilities he has learned over the years. His coaching philosophy begins with having FUN. (Remember, it's a game and we only have so much time playing it.) He believes that as a teammate and player, you win by respecting the opponent, the referee, and the rules of play, and by respecting the four Ps — possession of the ball, position of the ball/player, pressing after losing the ball, and perseverance as a team.

Coach Matt looks forward to the opportunity to grow within AFA Fillies as the Youth Development Director.
