John Szaro was named to the GW men's soccer staff as a volunteer assistant coach in August 2021.
Szaro comes aboard as a volunteer assistant working primarily with the goalkeepers. He estimates that he has trained more than 2,000 keepers over the past three-plus decades, including several national-caliber netminders, most notably two-time World Cup veteran Tony Meola.
A former Hofstra goalkeeper who played professionally with the Rochester Flash, New York Express and New York Arrows, Szaro has coached in the college ranks at American, Columbia, Hofstra, Fordham, Adelphi and New York Institute of Technology over the course of his career.
Since 2016, Szaro has served as Director of Goalkeeping at McLean Youth Soccer, and he has also been active in the Virginia Olympic Development Program coaching alongside Jones.
"Working with Craig Jones in the Olympic Development Program, I know he is an excellent teacher of the game and an even better person," said Szaro, who holds a USSF National C License. "I am both honored and excited to join him as a part of the George Washington men’s soccer program."
