Stan Anderson

Goalkeeping Coach 

Camp Shutout (WI, IL, MI)


 

Anderson has devoted most of his time to the goalkeeper position and has been a guest clinician for the IHSSCA (Illinois High School Soccer Coaches Association). Stan spent 10 years as the oldest boys age group head coach in the Wisconsin ODP system. After 10 successful years at UWM, five resulting in NCAA Tournament appearances, Anderson moved on to Marquette University as the Associate Head Coach. Anderson then moved on to Loyola University for the 2012 season and then spent three years coaching at the University of Wisconsin with John Trask and Keith Tiemeyer. He also worked with the Chicago Fire Academy for 5 years. During this time, Anderson earned a USSDA National Championship, spent time with the First Team, earned a final four USSDA appearance and coached in the sub15 LigaMX/MLS tournament championship match at Azteca.  Anderson now coaches for FC United, a member of the USSDA based in Northfield Illinois and is also currently on staff at UIC.

While coaching at UWM, Anderson coached his keeper, Grant Fernstrum, to national acclaim as Grant became the first ever Horizon league athlete to win a national statistical category… lowest GAA after the 2005 season. Recently retired Matt Pyzdrowski, a 2009 Marquette graduate, was most recently with Varbergs BoIS (Sweden’s Second Flight). Anderson played collegiately at UW Parkside where he rewrote the record books. Until the 2000 college season he held or shared numerous national goalkeeping records including most shutouts in a season and most consecutive shutouts – thus the name – Camp Shutout. He achieved All American status, played in the Senior Bowl in Las Cruces, NM and played one season professionally with the Dayton Dynamo of the NPSL.
