He will be overseeing the Young Olympians Program, an excellent program to engage and provide top level training for our future ODP stars. Williams will also be taking a role in helping inform, engage and connect clubs, programs and leagues to coaching education opportunities through US Soccer. Everything from the grassroots courses to the "C course", Williams will have a strong focus on creating and planning programming that will benefit the coaches in District 2 as well as helping coordinate and inform membership of upcoming leagues and competitions.
