Welcome Sean Doran, Director of Coaching
PARA is proud to introduce Sean Doran as the new Director of Coaching for its soccer program, Tuscaloosa United Soccer Club!

Sean has spent the last 5 years coaching in the United States since relocating here from the United Kingdom where he played university and semi pro soccer as well as representing his home island of Jersey in multiple youth international fixtures. From February 2012-August 2016 Sean worked in New Jersey and New York as both a full time coach and program coordinator with The Football Club of New Jersey (Morristown, NJ) and NY Stars Premier (New York, NY) where he coached numerous high level club teams in the extremely competitive NY/NJ area. Upon relocating to Alabama in the summer of 2016 Sean coached at BUSA for the fall season as well as working within the Alabama ODP program.
