After three transformative years with Spacecoast United Soccer Club, Haris Memisevicbids farewell to the club, leaving behind a legacy of dedication, excellence, and leadership. As the Boys Director, Haris had become a cornerstone of the club’s development, overseeing both junior and senior boys’ divisions and maintaining the highest standards of play. His influence extended beyond just training; it was about shaping the future of soccer both on and off the field.
During his time at Spacecoast United, Haris wore many hats. His most notable role was as the U14 Boys ECNL (Elite Clubs National League) Coach, where he mentored and developed some of the club’s most promising young talents. Under his guidance, the U14 team flourished, seeing not only improvement in their technical skills but also a significant leap in their understanding of the game. His tactical knowledge and ability to push players to achieve their potential were evident in every training session, and the results spoke for themselves, with the team achieving impressive performances on the national stage.
In addition to his work with the U14 team, Haris was also the U12 Boys DCL Academy Coach. The DCL (Developmental Club League) Academy was designed for young, high-potential players, and Haris excelled in creating an environment where these boys could grow and refine their skills in preparation for higher levels of competition. It was clear that Haris was not only coaching the game but also instilling valuable life lessons of discipline, teamwork, and resilience.
One of Haris’s standout roles at Spacecoast United was as a FAW Welsh Federation Coach Educator. In this capacity, he was responsible for teaching and evaluating coaches on the methodologies and techniques necessary for obtaining their UEFA coaching licenses. His expertise in coaching, combined with his extensive experience, made him a respected figure among fellow coaches. Through his mentorship, many coaches were able to achieve their UEFA certifications and elevate their coaching careers, a testament to his passion for soccer development at every level.
As if this wasn’t enough, Haris is also pursuing his 2025/26 UEFA A/Elite Youth A License, a prestigious qualification that will further solidify his standing as one of the top coaches in the world. His ambition to continue learning and growing in his profession is a reflection of his character—a constant drive to improve and offer the best for his players and peers.
Throughout his tenure at Spacecoast United, Haris not only trained young athletes but also took the time to invest in the next generation of coaches. He conducted numerous training sessions and workshops, sharing his knowledge with coaches at all levels. His approach was always collaborative, fostering a community where everyone could grow together. His philosophy was simple: if the coach grows, the player grows. And if the player grows, the club grows.
But as with all great journeys, Haris’s time at Spacecoast United has come to a close. His departure is bittersweet for both the players and coaches who have had the privilege of learning from him. His leadership, passion, and dedication to the development of the club will not be easily forgotten.
While it is a time of transition, Haris leaves with a sense of pride and fulfillment. The foundations he laid, the relationships he built, and the talent he nurtured will continue to have an impact for years to come. His next chapter is waiting, and the soccer world will undoubtedly continue to benefit from his vision and expertise.
Spacecoast United, while losing a key figure, is poised to continue building on the legacy that Haris helped establish. As for Haris, the road ahead is wide open, and whatever new ventures he embarks on, there is no doubt that his influence on the soccer world will continue to be felt—on fields, in coaching rooms, and in the hearts of players who had the privilege to work under his guidance.
Thank you, Haris, for everything you’ve given to Spacecoast United. The club will forever be better for it.
