Our team
Cook Inlet SC’s Competitive teams are run by the most experienced and successful team in Alaska. Teams developed by the Cook Inlet SC Competitive coaching staff have won more local tournaments, league games and state cups, and have had the most success playing outside of Alaska over all other clubs. Cook Inlet SC’s Competitive coaches are involved with high school programs and the Alaska Development Program in addition to their club coaching assignments.
Cook Inlet SC is a member of United Soccer Coaches and provides scholarships for coaches to continue their education via the United States Soccer Federation and the United Soccer Coaches systems. While every Cook Inlet SC coach is licensed, we value experience and a coach’s ability to connect and develop players on and off the field above all else. If you are interested in joining Cook Inlet SC’s Competitive coaching staff, please email the Cook Inlet SC Director Coaching Laef Eggan.
