WDMSC Club Directory

We rely on people, from our skilled support staff who oversee the day-to-day operations of the organization's ever-growing responsibilities. To our professional coaching staff dedicated to producing advanced-level, age-specific training for our various soccer programs, camps and clinics. We depend on Board Members who are not only volunteers but top educators, private business owners, and executive-level specialists in Central Iowa to build a successful roadmap for the club's current and future members. And our parent volunteers, who inspire us everyday by dedicating their time and skills to influence the soccer players of the future to which we are forever blessed and grateful.
