Coach Dave Patterson

Head Coach – Freehold Township Girls Flag Football

Dave Patterson brings a wealth of experience, leadership, and a proven track record of success to the Freehold Township Girls Flag Football program.

As the longtime Freehold Township Varsity Soccer Coach, Patterson has built a reputation for developing competitive teams grounded in discipline, teamwork, and strong fundamentals. His soccer program has consistently emphasized effort, accountability, and a team-first culture—values that now carry over to the Patriots flag football program.

Coach Patterson’s background in soccer provides a unique advantage in flag football, a sport that relies heavily on spacing, movement, communication, and field awareness. His ability to teach these concepts translates directly to the fast-paced, strategic nature of the game.

With the launch of girls flag football at Freehold Township, Patterson is helping lead the program from the ground up—establishing a foundation focused on:

• Player development
• Team culture
• Competitive growth within the Shore Conference

Known for his calm leadership style and commitment to his athletes, Patterson prioritizes both performance and personal growth. He works to create an environment where players can build confidence, develop skills, and compete at a high level.

As the Patriots begin this new chapter, Coach Patterson’s experience and vision are instrumental in shaping the future of the program.

 Under his leadership, Freehold Township is building more than a team—it’s building a culture.
