James Oppenheimer

  • Title
    Assistant Coach

The Hertfordshire, England native has spent the last six seasons as a staff coach with Dakota Alliance Soccer Club in Sioux Falls. He has coached teams at multiple competitive age groups with success in a number of tournaments.

The Minnesota State University Moorhead graduate played in England for Berkhamsted Town Youth (now Berkhamsted Raiders CFC), and for Berkhamsted School. Oppenheimer played a year of college rugby league for the University of Portsmouth before transferring to MSU Moorhead where he completed his Bachelor of Science in International Business.

Prior to coaching, Oppenheimer was a licensed referee. He took charge of competitive games both in England and USA before deciding he could have a more positive influence on teaching the game in the United States by coaching.

Outside of coaching, Oppenheimer works as a Claims Service Consultant for Holmes Murphy & Associates, and is a fan of British Premier League team Chelsea Football Club. He resides in Sioux Falls with his wife Marisa, and their children Henry and Gemma.
