Meet our Director of Coaching, Chris McMackin

Chris is a Gillette native and a member of one of the original Edge teams. His love of the game began at age 5, playing in the recreational league, and
continued to grow while playing for the Gillette Soccer Club. Being a member of the soccer club and playing competitively year after year ultimately lead to a State High School Championship and College opportunities. Once his competitive playing days were over he transitioned over to the coaching ranks and has been coaching for 20 plus years. Chris has coached everything from 4yr old rec to College soccer. He helped start Jr. High soccer in Wyoming, was a co-founder of the Wyo 307 programs, and revived the WY High school Soccer All-Star games after 25 years. Chris holds his National “D” Coaching License.

Chris also has a day-time job working as a mesh network and fleet management engineer for ESM (Eagle Specialty Materials). He is married to Misti and has three sons, AJ, Trafford, and Christian.

Chris’ goal as a coach is to instill the passion for the game of soccer and hopefully shape player’s lives in a positive way! His greatest reward isn’t all the wins, it’s knowing he’s made a difference in a player’s life.
