NFSC - Niagara FC OPDL is thrilled to welcome back Coach David Currie for the 2010 Girls team in the 2025 season!

Originally from Glasgow, Scotland, David developed a passion for soccer at a young age and played for several Pro-Youth Academies. He earned a full scholarship to NCAA Division 1 school, Robert Morris University, where he later became assistant coach for the men’s team, helping them win a Conference Championship.

David has coached at NCAA Division 1, 2, and 3 levels and completed a Master’s in Teaching while coaching at West Liberty University. Since moving to the Niagara Region in 2012, he has trained many players who went on to play NCAA Division 1 soccer.

David joined the OPDL program in 2022, where he has been an integral part of the coaching staff. His focus has been on developing young players to compete at an elite level, emphasizing technical skills, game intelligence, and a strong work ethic. His experience with top-level athletes has helped him prepare players to transition smoothly to higher levels of competition. Through his time with OPDL, David has played a key role in nurturing talent, creating a positive environment, and driving success both on and off the field.

We also welcome back Coach Jessica Danku as the coach of the 2009 Boys for the 2025 season!

Jessica came on as Coach for the 2009 Boys this past Spring, but has been an integral part of NFSC and the NIAGARA FC OPDL Boys teams since 2021.  She was recognized by Ontario Soccer and OPDL as Gatorade Coach of the Month for her work with her Boys team in 2021.  She currently has the 2009 Boys working hard to have a great finish to their season and with her dedication and coaching expertise it just makes her an ideal fit to continue leading the team forward into the new year.
