The coach

Matt Dallman

Matt has spent 26 years in soccer. He grew up in Hood River, Oregon, came up through club soccer and the IMG Academy, coached by former pros from Manchester United, Aston Villa, West Ham and the Portland Timbers.

After three seasons at the University of Portland he played nine years professionally in Denmark, Germany and the United States. His last stop, the Pittsburgh Riverhounds, included the club's academy: individual work, group sessions, full teams. Player development became the job.

The foot skills and European-style training he got as a kid made his career. That is exactly what he teaches in Portland today.

I remember these young men as boys learning how to correctly make a side footed pass, trap the ball, learning technical drills and positioning. Now they are the top ranked team in the state! So proud of this group.
