My name is Frank DeChellis from Welland, Ontario, Canada. I played soccer from age 6 to 35. My three sons play(ed) soccer and keep making comebacks in their 20s.

I've coached soccer at the club, district and college levels since 1988. I also deliver coaching education for Ontario Soccer.
My main soccer assignments at the moment are
- Head Coach, Men's Varsity Soccer, Niagara College
- Head Coach, L2 men, St Catharines Roma
- Learning Facilitator, Ontario Soccer
- Occasional guest coach to about 50 youth teams coached by friends and family 😀
My passions right now are coaching education, guest coaching for some friends and making Niagara College a destination for soccer players looking to play at the post secondary level.
As for certification, I hold a Charter Professional Coach (ChP) designation with NCCP, I have a National A-License with the Canadian Soccer Association, Competition Development Certificate with NCCP , Core Evaluator NCCP, and a member of the Ontario College of Teachers.
Currently, I am a member of the faculty in the School of Technology at Niagara College in Welland.
I hope this journal can serve as a resource for other coaches.
