Patrick Aragon - Head Coach/Trainer

Patrick’s journey as a coach began early, working with his own son at the U6 levels. Last year, he was recognized by some of the competitive coaches in the higher age groups for his ability to work with new players, develop skills, and help with improving confidence. He was invited to start a developmental team of U8 players that could train early in the season to move up to the U10 level and play more competitively for the 2024-2025 season. This group has thrived at skill development, team comradery, and work ethic.

Patrick believes in hard work, confidence, and repetition. At this age range, it is all about balancing positive reinforcement, fun, and increasing skill sets along the way. Player development happens at all levels: increasing physical skill building through a scaffolding approach to learning; mental integrity through positive coaching and encouraging language; and decision-making, helping the players trust not only their teammates but themselves.

Work ethic begins at practice, is reinforced through positive families, and is celebrated through winning. Patrick is supported by a wonderful team of coaches, providing different looks for the players and keeping practices both challenging and dynamic.
