Mountain Pointe Coaching Staff
Coach Willie Molina —Varsity Head Coach
|
Soccer has been a big part of my life. I started playing club soccer at a very young age where I started to fall in love with the game. I played club soccer for SASC Stampede, an FC Barcelona in California, where I was scouted by the Chivas USA MSL team where I played with the reserve team my junior and senior year of High School. I was then scouted by Tigres from Mexico and played professionally with them for almost 3 years right after I graduated from high school. My team won some of the big club tournaments such as surf cup, nomads, NHB, Dallas Cup, and traveled to some of the most prestigious soccer tournaments in the world, such as Gothia Cup (Sweden) and Catalunya Cup (Spain). I played with the ODP team all of my club years and was part of the National Champion team in 2004.
I started coaching in California for SC Boca Juniors and also was the JV girls coach for Brentwood High School in Brentwood, CA. After moving to Arizona, I started coaching at Legacy in 2014 where I was the assistant with Bryan Sabato and won the State Championship with the 00 group. I started coaching at Mountain Pointe for the 2013-2014 season. |

Don Meyer —Junior Varsity Head Coach
|
I am happy to be back with the Mountain Pointe soccer program after a 10 year hiatus. I was the JV Boys Soccer coach from 1993-2008. I have taught English and Humanities at Mountain Pointe for 25 years and have been the English Department Chairman since 2003. I am proud to say that I coached Mountain Pointe alumnus and MLS/USMNT player Brad Evans for about 10 minutes - then the Varsity coach took him! I have a wife, Leti, and three children, Gabriel, Aaaron, and Chiara. I have played soccer myself for 42 years until a back injury ended my "playing career". As a coach I have never been sent to the stands, despite my occasional flashes of temper.
