Our Coaches:
Nick Matesa
Nick Matesa has been coaching and teaching for over 20 years. He is a United States Soccer Grass Roots and D licensed youth coach. He took the Gaithersburg High School Boys Soccer team to the Regional Finals for the first time in school history, leading those teams from 2005 - 2011. After he and his wife had their three children, he went on to coach with Carroll Manor Youth Soccer in Adamstown, MD and FC Frederick youth soccer from 2016 - 2022. Seeing talented players needing more individual coaching while instilling training techniques is why he wanted to help create Next Move Soccer training. "Service to others" is what he hopes to give back to the community. Nick Matesa is a graduate and soccer player of Salisbury University, as well as a Physical Education Teacher in Montgomery County Maryland. He is a lifelong resident of Frederick County, playing high school soccer and graduating from Walkersville, MD.
“I hope to give my knowledge to each player, parent, and family to help them in their child's journey. My three children all play at the highest levels in club soccer. My oldest son is playing in the U14 Boys MLS Next league against MLS youth teams D.C. United, Philadelphia Union, and New York Red Bulls. My daughter plays U12 with Bethesda Soccer Club in the ECNL league against the most talented teams in the area. Seeing all the levels of play from Frederick, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, coaching and saying the right things individually is paramount to developing each player. Next Move Soccer training will lead to each individual to achieve soccer success and develop them into a great player - and person.” - Nick Matesa
Brian Graziano
Brian Graziano is a physical education teacher and fitness advocate with over 20 years experience. He currently serves as the U4 Academy Coach at Carroll Manor Recreation Council where he starts every player off with a great foundation in their soccer career. He has also served the community as a referee of soccer. While basketball was Brian’s first passion, he has grown to love the sport of soccer in recent years. He brings a fresh approach to soccer as a lover of all competitive sports. His mindful approach to fitness as a way of life guides his students with a holistic approach to sports.
“I’m fueled by the statistics that about 70% of kids quit playing sports by the age 13. There’s a saying that goes “Kids don’t quit sports, they quit coaches.” I’ve seen it ring true time and time again. With this mindset at the forefront of how I work with students and athletes, my goal is to motivate kids of all levels to continue participating in sports so they can enjoy the tremendous benefits that go along with it. Teamwork, social skills, cardiovascular health, self-esteem, reduced stress, growth mindset, the list goes on and on. I think this camp will be a great opportunity for our players, and I am excited to work with Coach Beatty and Matesa!” - Brian Graziano
Doug Beatty
Doug Beatty has been involved with recreational and youth soccer for over 10 years. While developing the passion later in life, Doug has jumped in with both feet, as a player, a coach, and a champion of youth sports. He currently serves as the Commissioner of Soccer for Carroll Manor Recreation Council. He is a member of the City SC Frederick Operations Team and serves as a member of the Executive Board for the United Recreational Soccer League. He holds a United States Soccer Grassroots Coaching License and is working to obtain a D License.
Doug began coaching when he recognized the need for quality volunteer coaches as his own children began their athletic careers. His daughter, age 14, began soccer at 4 years old and played for many years. She is now pursuing her passion as a dancer at 24/7 Dance Studio in Frederick, where she is a member of the P.R.I.D.E. Company. She is also a student-teacher at the studio and a member of the THS Dance Team - The Titanettes. His son, age 11, has been playing soccer since just before turning 3 years old. He played on the 3rd & 4th grade team while only in 1st Grade. He continues to excel in the sport as a member of not only Carroll Manor Soccer, but also the City SC 2014 Boys’ Chesapeake Premier soccer team. Both children maintain high grades in school, as Doug and his wife, Dawn, believe that the STUDENT in Student-Athlete comes first for a reason.
“I am committed to help each and every player I coach find their path in soccer - and life. I believe every child who has the desire to play soccer can contribute to the sport and their team. Sometimes, I only get a short time with a player, but I try to give them each something they can take with them and remember. Growing up, my youth soccer experience was less than ideal. I know the pitfalls of youth sports and know that we can do better. Soccer is a sport one can play and enjoy throughout their entire life, no matter their skill level” - Doug Beatty
