Ryan Kelly, Assistant Coach
TEAMS: 2011 Boys
My wife and I moved to Newberg when we were looking for a place to raise our family. We have enjoyed the community and countless connections we've made here. In hindsight, we can't think of a better place to have landed.
Both my wife and I got a lot out of youth sports when we were younger and thought it was important for our kids to have the same experience. I started coaching every sport our kids participated in (T-ball, softball, basketball, and of course soccer). I genuinely love youth sports whether our kids are participating, I'm coaching, or I'm just rooting for a Newberg team. I love seeing increased confidence and improvement in kids when they do hard things and I love the family a team creates. I foresee coaching even when our kids are grown because it is so rewarding.
My wife and I have 3 kids; I love being a dad. I've worked in insurance claims as a profession for over 20 years. I follow most every sport with the Denver Broncos, Portland Timbers and Trailblazers being my teams. I'm also obsessed with cars.
