Soccer has always been a big part of my life, from playing throughout school to now coaching my kids and their teams. I’ve been coaching soccer for the last few years and truly enjoy helping young athletes develop their skills, confidence, and love for the game. This season, I’m excited to once again be part of the Polar Bears FC family and I am looking forward to growing with the team, both on and off the pitch.

Beyond soccer, I stay busy also coaching baseball and staying involved in Scouting America, where I’ve been active since earning my Eagle Scout in high school. I believe in hands-on learning, problem-solving, and teamwork—values I bring to the soccer pitch as well. My approach to coaching is simple: encourage effort, teach the fundamentals, and guide players to think through challenges so they can grow as athletes and teammates.

I’m looking forward to a great season and many more to come!

Darin Miller - U12 &14 Coach

I have 2 children whom both play soccer for PBFC. My wife Sarah and I married 16 years ago and began raising our family in Jackson township. I am a life long Polar Bear as I graduating from Jackson in 2000, and in fact our kids and I both went to the same elementary school. 

I have been in some sort of soccer program for roughly 30 years be it a player, a coach a parent or even running a club. I played in competitive or recreational soccer leagues for around 20 years. I was one of the assistant coaches to help start the Sandy Valley High School soccer program back in 2014 - 2015. I have been coaching at all age levels consistently over the last 7 years as my kids started to get involved with the sport. 

My overall goal for your children is to build their general soccer awareness and technical skills and most importantly to provide a fun and safe atmosphere that will encourage them to want to play again NEXT time. I look forward to seeing the growth of our young players and of course have some soccer FUN!

I have three kids; Tucker(11), Abigail(8), Annabel(6). My wife, Ashley, and I have raised our family in Jackson twp. for the last 8 years. We enjoy family time, being outdoors, skiing, hiking, and fishing. Kids activities keep us busy with the girls heavily involved in dance and Tucker enjoying soccer with his friends. 

I have a background in soccer starting when I was U10 and playing through high school. I dabbled during college on club and intramural teams. After a long break, I’m happy to be back involved in a sport that I enjoyed so much. This is the perfect time to get kids involved with soccer with the WORLD CUP bring hosted in the US in 2026.

My coaching style is firm and supportive. I try and focus on building character though hard work and team unity. Our players will be encouraged to support one another on and off the pitch. We will celebrate wins and improve from losses.

Thank you or the opportunity to coach your players. I’m looking forward to another great season as part of the Polar Bears Football Club.
