Super Nova Coaches Super Nova has assembled a staff of experienced coaches dedicated to teaching players of all ages the skills and tactics needed to compete at the highest levels. Each player is afforded the opportunity to learn from coaches that have played at both the amateur and professional levels. Our coaches possess the ability to transfer their knowledge of the game to the young athletes that comprise Super Nova. Philosophy At Super Nova, all of our coaches work with all of our teams on a rotating basis. This enables each coach to bring unique skills and individual experiences to practices and game situations, and provides an enhanced learning environment.
