I am Domenico Fragomeni and I go by “Coach Dom” and I live in Bradenton, FL. I Was born in Siderno, Italy. I have been in the states for 35 years. I have been playing soccer in this area since I was 8 years old and played through High school which I attended Venice High School, where I graduated in the year 2000 . I ended up playing baseball as well and excelled as a pitcher and played at Lake City Community College for 2 years. I also graduated from Keiser College with AA in Business. I was a kicker for semi pro local Southwest FL Gladiators American football team for 12+ years. I have been playing Men’s Soccer where my goalkeeping career began. I played in local Men’s leagues for the last 15 years. I started coaching with Rec at North River Manatee Soccer Club when my children were 5 years old. I have been coaching at the competitive level with our U14 girls since we started the team in U10. My daughter Gaby Fragomeni is our GK for our U14 girls team. I have been training her and teaching her the art of GK which is a difficult position. I am also GK coach at the Mutiny Club and I am excited to have my 1st Head coaching position this year with the U10 Elite team.

I have always had a love for football and I grew up with it in Italy and the Itailians love the sport. Every summer I went to Italy, I played with my cousins and I will tell you those kids over in Italy are so good. I really respect the game and it is like an art that requires a lot of work. The competitive nature really excites me and gets me fired up.

Jeff Hernden

Head Coach – 2014 U10 Boys Premier / 2008 U16 Boys Premier

I grew up here in Bradenton beginning my soccer career at Palma Sola Soccer Club before beginning competitive soccer with Manatee Magic and later Braden River Soccer Club. After graduating from FSU with a double major in History and International Affairs, I went on to the London School of Economics and Political Science where I completed a Master of Science in Political Science. After I moved back home to begin a teaching career, I started coaching soccer at Braden River HS before moving to Manatee HS, then on to club soccer at Braden River Soccer Club, and IMG Academy before moving to NMSC in 2020. I currently hold a US Soccer ‘C’ coaching license and I am also working on a second Master’s degree in Sport Management at the University of Florida, focusing on Athlete Development. Why do I love football? I love football for its beauty, its passion, and its ability to bring people together. I love this game for the camaraderie it brings and for how it can be such an amazing vehicle not only for athletic and physical development, but also for character building and personal development.

Paul Fullylove

Head Coach – 2014 U10 Girls Elite / 2014 U10 Girls Premier

As a young man I played Soccer for many years at a County Level in the United Kingdom and upon joining the RAF at 17 I played for both my Squadron and The Royal Air Force Regiment Team between the 1988 – 1992 seasons.

I hold my Football Association 1, 2, and 3 Licenses (UK).

Having begun coaching in 2006, my soccer education has been varied, challenging but above all, successful.

In 2008, I joined Southwick Rangers in the South of England UK, starting with the u15’s, certainly a year to remember. I began by taking an unconfident, underachieving youth team and transforming them in my first season by taking them to near the summit of the County Division 1. I have consistently improved my squads and made sure all players understand the importance of being a part of a team as well as performing to their utmost as an individual.

Moving up in the club in 2009, I took charge of both the Youth Academy and Adult ‘B’ Team, now the ‘A’ team, due to the fact we won…everything! These teams ranged from ages 7-16 Year olds in the youth squads then up to and including the Adult team. My responsibilities include everything from training schedules to match reports.

I pride myself on management and instilling a confident desire to win in my squad, and believe that developing young players as personalities should be as much of a focus as technique.

Jason Simpson

Assistant Coach – 2010 U14 Boys Premier

Currently the Assistant Coach for the Mutiny’s Under-14 Boys Team. This will be my second year of being involved in coaching, after spending my first season with the same group as Under-13’s.

I spent my childhood in a somewhat nomadic fashion. I first began playing football in Greenville, South Carolina before spending time in El Paso, TX; Louisville, KY; and Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN. I was fortunate enough to be a State Champion or Finalist with every club I played for in my youth.
My formative years of playing were spent mostly in Kentucky and playing for Louisville United, which has since been renamed United 1996. With that club, we were able to reach the semifinals of our regional tournament two years in a row.

I graduated from Western Kentucky University with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration, where I continued to play football at intramural level only.

Although my playing career ended far earlier than I ever anticipated, my love for this sport never waned. Football, in my opinion, is about more than just sport. It teaches us valuable lessons when we are young. Work ethic, discipline, teamwork, passion, humility. And, most importantly, how to strive toward a common goal while fulfilling a role for the betterment of the collective. These are lasting lessons that we carry through all facets of our lives.
In addition to these elements, there is no better combination of athleticism, skill, passion, and pure artistry that this game embodies.
