Coach Ty Shiffler
Information
Coach Ty Shiffler’s coaching philosophy is simple: kids need more soccer, in more forms, with more friends. Named after a Heisman Trophy winner and raised to be a football player, Ty was always destined for the beautiful game. A four-year varsity standout and Idaho State Leading Scorer at Madison Senior High School, his playing career took him from the Madison Dragons amateur league to a roster spot at BYU — until a severe knee injury ended his competitive career.
What followed was a different kind of soccer life: ten years coaching, four kids in the game, 20 years officiating matches up to the collegiate level, and a weekly community street soccer pickup in Saratoga Springs that he hosts for any kid willing to play. Over four years in Utah state competitive soccer, his teams have been promoted in 9 of 12 seasons and won their division three times.
Ty is a father-coach, a USSF-licensed coach (currently pursuing his C License), the owner of Cobra Shinguards, a Real Salt Lake season ticket holder, and a believer that the next generation of American players will be built on the courts and the streets — not just the cones and the grids.
Ty will lead our 2013 Boys beginning the 2026/2027 season. Welcome aboard, Coach!
