Neil Gilmore - JV Head Coach
I attended Madison West when boys soccer was still a spring sport. SPHS
was not part of the Big 8 when I started high school.
I hold a USSF C license, a USC National diploma, and a bunch of lesser
certifications. I am retired from a career writing high-level software.
I have been coaching in some form or another for over 40 years, though
my soccer experience is much less.
