Congratulations to Yankton Girls Soccer Coach Tyler Schuring on being named a finalist for the 2026 NHSACA National Coach of the Year!
Coach Schuring was also recently selected as the 2025 SDHSCA Girls Soccer Coach of the Year.
Under his leadership, the Yankton girls soccer program began its first year of sanctioned soccer in 2014 and his teams have qualified for the playoffs every season since 2015. His teams captured back-to-back ESD titles in 2018 and 2019, highlighted by an undefeated season and the 2019 SD State Championship. Most recently, the Gazelles had a successful season falling 0-1 to eventual state champion Harrisburg in the 2025 State Quarterfinals.
