B’ Elite Player Development SC is excited to announce the addition of Ronnie Kolbinger to the coaching staff. Ronnie has and is working with various clubs and some top high school programs both as a coach and conditioning director. He is going to bring many years of experience, especially to the small sided teams of B’ Elite with his focus on development.
Ronnie’s primary role will be assisting with training and games with the small sided teams on a consistent basis. While rotating with the older full-sided teams depending on what games/schedule is for these teams on a weekly basis.
I personally could not ask for a better person, trainer and coach to accept a position with B’ Elite PD SC after an extensive search and interview process.
