“I first met Jason about 10 years ago while coaching Division I college soccer. When I saw him coaching I knew right away he was a complete professional. I spent the next year finding a way to visit UNC to work with him and Anson. This is a huge opportunity to now have Jason working in Vacaville. He has always been dedicated towards giving back to his local communities and is a shining example of all the core values we harbor at VUSC. I’m very excited to see the development of our players as they grow.” – Kris Hall, VUSC Executive Director
