Sean Nahas is the Director of the Girls' Classic program for CASL. He is also the coach of the Spartan Elite Black at the under 14 and 15 age brackets and the coach of the Under 18 Spartan Elite. Sean's Under 15 and Under 18 teams won the NCYSA State Cup in Wilson in Novemeber and both will be participating in the Region 3 Regionals this summer in TN.
Sean grew up in East Northport, NY and played soccer for the Northport Cow Harbor Soccer Club and Elwood John Glenn HS. He played soccer at Queens University in Charlotte and then graduated from Hofstra University. Sean's brother, Damon, also works for CASL and will be highlighted in a later blog!
Sean started in the soccer business by doing private instruction in NY. He has been with CASL for six years.
He is driven to stay in the soccer business by the slogan "Family, Pride, Passion and Purpose." Also, "the competition, the effect on young players' lives that we are so fortunate to have an impact on."
His most enjoyable parts about the game are, "the opportunity to work with some of the finest young soccer players and people that I have had the pleasure to be around in this game (family environment), and the ability to learn from young players day in and day out and know that each day as a coach I will get their full effort!"
Sean's most challenging parts of his job are, "meeting the expectations that I set for myself and wanting to meet the standards that the club has created based on years past and wanting to meet those expectations!"
The people and groups that have influenced him in his playing and his career in soccer are, "my brother Damon-having the opportunity to work next to him each day allows for me to keep setting my own bar higher and higher!" Daniel Trant-"a close friend who passed away in 9/11 who helped give me my first insight into coaching." The 95 Spartan Elite Black-"a girls' team who helped me realize the adjustments one must make as a coach in order to get the right response from them." CASL staff- "providing me the opportunity to work at the club six years ago has helped me realize what it takes to work with the best soccer players in the area."
Sean Nahas has done a great job for CASL in his six years with the club. He has done an excellent job in his position of the Classic Director for the girls division. Sean sets the bar high for himself, for his teams and for the coaches in the girls' division. He does not waver from his ideals and works very hard to achieve his goals. His program's success was evident when CASL swept the four girls NCYSA State Championships in the Fall.
