PACE welcomes new Soccer Academy coach Anthony Wade!

Having first started his coaching career at Alief Taylor High School in Houston, TX, Coach Wade is going into his 3rd year as a coach, where he currently is an Assistant Soccer Coach at Omaha Central. He helped start up Central’s first freshman boy’s soccer team this year, which has added another building step for player development at Central.

Known for having a supportive & holistic coaching style, Coach Wade was given the task of managing the young/developmental teams, where he challenged his players to go outside of their comfort zone on the field, just as he’s done as a coach, having the philosophy “you can’t grow, until you try”. Many of his players did grow & would move up to play on Central’s JV team.

Congrats to PACE Soccer Academy player Divin Yetongnon on his continued success during this year’s season of the 2025-2026 Nebraska Olympic Development Program team!

PACE welcomes new Soccer Academy coach Diana Estrada! Diana started playing soccer at the YMCA when she was 5 years old and continued to play throughout college. She recently graduated with a degree in Elementary Education and will be teaching 6th grade in August. She loves being a teacher inside and outside of the classroom. She says that being a coach gives her the best of both worlds!

Welcome to the team! Omaha Central Head Boys Soccer Coach is set to join the PACE Soccer Academy as a coach this summer.

At Central, Nick has led the Eagles through multiple winning seasons, helping them climb in the state rankings, secure major district victories, and establish themselves as a highly competitive Class A program. In 2026, Omaha Central earned a Top 10 state ranking and captured the #1 seed in their district — a major milestone for the program.

Known for his passion, intensity, and ability to build strong team culture, Coach Webster has developed players both on and off the field while creating an environment centered around accountability, confidence, and competitiveness.
His commitment to player development and his love for the game make him an outstanding addition to the PACE family. We are excited for our athletes to learn from his experience, leadership, and winning mentality!

Here are some highlights from MLS GO - PACE Juniors Champions Day on 5/16!

All teams were in action on Saturday, with the Columbus Crew winning the K/1st grade division and the New York Red Bulls winning the 2nd/3rd grade division.

After the games, our players were awarded medals and free food was available for all in attendance.

Special thanks to all of our volunteer coaches who helped make this program possible.

Congratulations again to all of our players and coaches on a great Spring Season!
