We come to you today with our nomination of Robert L. Jordan for your consideration for election to the Indiana Soccer Hall of Fame.  Coach Jordan has coached Indiana Soccer Association Club soccer for more than 35 years!  Coach Jordan has coached Indiana High School Athletic Association high school soccer for more than 35 years!  Coach Jordan demonstrates a positive effect and influence upon the growth, development, promotion, and advancement of Indiana Soccer.  A conservative estimate is Coach Jordan has coached 1400 high school student athletes plus coached at least 700 Indiana Soccer Association Club soccer players.  And, yes, he is still coaching both at Zionsville High School and USA of Indiana Club! 

Since Coach Jordan has coached for 35 years, those of us in Indiana youth soccer often come across his former players and our current coaches who credit Coach Jordan’s leadership and caring coaching when they were younger as positive influence on their lives and in the case of coaches, Coach Jordan’s leadership prompted them to become coaches.  The list is long. 

We believe Coach Jordan’s Outstanding Achievement is also a consideration.  Rob Jordan is responsible for creating the award winning “USA of Indiana Have A Ball in School Fitness with a Ball” program.  Have A Ball has reached over 70,000 school age children, introducing each to the game of soccer with an Indiana approved school curriculum.  We bring the completely self-sufficient program to schools free of charge.  Coach Jordan coached high school teams were 2018 Finalist and 2019 Champions Indiana State Championship.  Coach Jordan coached Club team won the Indiana Soccer State Cup in 2018.  Coach Jordan was recognized twice by United Soccer Coaches for his outstanding achievement representing all that is great with Indiana high school coaching.
