"Playing at a high level exposed me to a lot of great coaches. His background as an elite player will help him get the club's teams to play the game the right way, he said. Kindel will do a lot of coaching the coaches, running clinics and sessions for the many volunteers who lead the club's teams. "The launch of our highly successful U5 Kick Start program, the expansion of our coaching and development programs through the Centre of Excellence and the merger with Norvan men's club means we can offer cradle to grave soccer playing opportunities for our community." "Our goal is to be one of the top clubs in Canada and with Steve on board, we will move towards that," he said in a release. The hiring of a technical director who will set the pace on and off the field is another exciting step in NVFC's growth, said club president Chris Davie. I feel honoured that they selected me out of all those applicants and at the same time very excited because it's pretty much a brand new club." there are not too many clubs that are 3,000-plus - and it would have been an attractive job for many people that have been a TD elsewhere or are looking to run a big, progressive club. "I know they had a lot of very quality applicants and now with the merger the club is one of the biggest in B.C. "To come in and be part of forming an identity for a brand new club this size is really exciting," Kindel, who has been on the job since mid-July, told the North Shore News last week. The new club, representing more than 3,400 boys and 100 men, immediately became one of the largest in Canada. Kindel takes over a club that was formed in 2010 as a result of the merger of North Vancouver's Lynn Valley, Lions Gate and Seymour soccer associations. The club recently announced the hiring of Steve Kindel, a former national team and Vancouver Whitecaps player who is moving over from his position as technical director for Vancouver United, another youth club. THE North Vancouver Football Club can check one more item off of their to-do list now that they've hired their firstever technical director to oversee the operations of their young but growing soccer empire.
