From former Middle School Soccer and current Varsity Girls Head coach, Matt Michelin:
Dear Hazleton Middle School Soccer Families,
I hope this message finds you well and you are enjoying your summer.
As many of you know, I recently accepted the position as head coach of the Hazleton Varsity Girls Soccer Team. While I’m excited to take on this new role, it has left multiple openings for coaches of the Hazleton Middle School Soccer Team. Both head and assistant coaching positions are open.
Unfortunately, despite the position being posted for several weeks, we have not yet received any applications. This is where I hope our soccer community can step in.
We are looking for a dedicated, energetic, and positive leader who is passionate about working with middle school athletes. This role is incredibly rewarding and plays a vital part in developing young players both on and off the field. Whether you are a parent, know someone with a background in soccer, or have experience working with youth and would be willing to learn, I encourage you to consider applying or sharing this opportunity. The success of our middle school program is crucial to the continued strength of soccer in our district.
If you or someone you know is interested, please feel free to reach out to me directly with any questions, or contact the Hazleton Area School District’s Athletics Department to learn more about the application process. The contact at the Athletic Department would be Mr. Fred Barletta (barlettaf@hasdk12.org).
Thank you for your continued support of our soccer program. The season is rapidly approaching, so let’s work together to ensure our middle school athletes have a strong season ahead.
Warm regards,
Matt Michelin
