Damian Carter - 11v11 & YDA Coach

How did you become involved in soccer and coaching?

I started playing soccer my freshman year of high school because my school didn't have a football team and it quickly became my favorite sport. I started coaching for a youth team in the Spring of 2022 when I was told a boys youth team didn't have a coach and decided to try it out without any experience in coaching prior. Luckily I met Jason Sisneros as the other coach to help with the team the next time they had practice!

Why you are excited to be part of the new Rush program?

I think Rush in our area will be a great addition to not only the communities it'll touch, but the soccer atmosphere surrounding Central NC as a whole. I'm excited to see the possible changes that this club can bring.
