What are people saying about Coach Merola?
“I have known Tony 30 years since our days together at Wrexham Football Club. Even then he displayed a deep knowledge of the game and there was never any doubt he would go on to be a top coach. I would have no hesitation recommending Tony to anybody who was thinking about the development of their child.”
“Whilst playing ECNL under Coach Merola he helped me develop my game as an offensive minded player which helped open up pathways for me to play in England. The knowledge he has of the game and experience of working with all kinds players makes him an excellent coach that anyone would be lucky to play for.”
“It has been great to see Tony's pathway take him from Wrexham FC to the US. I got to witness his work last year in the NPSL on the training ground and on matchday. His passion for the game and compassion for his players shone through. I wish him well into this new venture and I wish him every success.”
“Coach Tony was such a positive influence on my son and his team. At the beginning of the season they looked like they were 1 level above bumble bee soccer but by the end of the season were using the entire field and playing positions properly. He connected with the kids through their passion for soccer and helped them continue to love the sport.”
“Tony Merola coached my son and with his positive coaching style and leadership, he re-built my son's confidence and restored his love of the game. His ability to connect with individuals with his passion for the game is hard to find.”
“Coach Merola has been instrumental in nurturing my daughter's soccer skills. His dedication, encouraging approach and ability to create a supportive environment has greatly contributed to her growth as a player.I wholeheartedly recommend Coach Merola for his outstanding coaching abilities and positive impact on young athletes.”
