Ali Miller

Girls 2007 Red

Girls 2010 Blue


Coaching Background

My name is Ali Miller. I grew up living and breathing soccer. I jumped around a bit and played for a few clubs but the main portion of my younger years were spent with Sonoma County Alliance (now known as North Coast FC), Santa Rosa United and Analy High school. I played for the Santa Rosa Junior College for my first two years then transferred on scholarship to Fort Lewis in Colorado. At the Fort I was recognized for various accomplishments like breaking the fitness test record upon arrival, as well as accolades like 'Goalkeeper of the Week'. I coached goalkeeper clinics for the younger clubs while in Colorado. I am currently working towards completing my personal training certification to add more value to my sessions and widen my knowledge on health and nutrition. Transitioning from playing to coaching has been an incredible learning experience. My goal as a coach is to increase the preparedness of the player both mentally and physically, building confidence on all levels—as a player and a person. 

Kenny Goldstone

Boys 2010 Red


Coaching Background

Playing Experience: 
Growing up in Petaluma, my soccer career began with PYSL. I played with PYSL up until U15's when I moved to SCA. I played with SCA for two years under Joe Hunter. I then transitioned to Petaluma United for the final 3 years of my playing career under Josh Nazzal and Tim Maycock. I played JV for my Freshman and Sophomore year in High School then moved up to Varsity at Casa Grande High School. 

Coaching Experience: 
I began coaching with PYSL at the age of 15. Coaching my brother's U12 team with my mom. After that season I took over as the head coach for the next 6 years. I was recognized by PYSL as the coach of the year in 2013. I took several of my teams to the Semi Final and Finals of Founders Cup. Furthermore, I specialize in coaching goalkeepers. After a few years away from coaching I have completed my Bachelors Degree in Communications from Dominican University of California. I am looking forward to returning to coaching to continue to work with the Petaluma soccer community.
