Fall of 2023 will mark Nixon's 11th season as Head Coach of Haddonfield.

 

During that time and in his previous 13 seasons on staff since 2010, Haddonfield has won 194 Varsity games, reached the South Jersey Championship game three times in 2011, 2016, and 2017 and won six Colonial Conference Championships (2011, 2012, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2019).  As Head Boys Soccer Coach since 2013, Nixon has overseen the varsity for 223 games; winning 144 of those contests as well as four Colonial Conference Championships (2015, 2016, 2017, & 2019).  45 of his players have garnered All-Colonial Conference designation as well as 20 others who were named either All-State or All-South Jersey Region by the Soccer Coaches Association of New Jersey.  Nixon has also seen eight of his players go on to represent collegiate programs at the NCAA Division I, Division III and collegiate club levels and coached four more who earned Colonial Conference Player of the Year honors from NJ.com (Star-Ledger).  In 2022, Haddonfield was recognized as one of only 52 boys soccer programs nationwide to earn a United Soccer Coaches Team Ethics and Sportsmanship Award; awarded annually to teams that earn designation through fair play and discipline.  During the winter of 2024, Nixon was voted onto the Executive Board of the South Jersey Soccer Coaches Association as its Vice President.  

 

Prior to being named Coach in 2013, Nixon served as an assistant on Joe Falana's coaching staff from 2010 to 2012.  During that time, Haddonfield claimed two straight Colonial Conference Championships in 2011 and 2012 and also won the program’s 17th South Jersey sectional crown in 2011.  Haddonfield went 50-13-3 in Varsity play during Nixon’s tenure as an assistant.

 

During each Fall and in the offseason, Nixon has also served as a Youth Soccer Trainer, Staff Coach, and Head Coach for the Haddonfield Soccer Club since 2008. 

 

As a player, Nixon was a four year contributor and Varsity letter winner for the McDaniel College (MD) Green Terror Men’s Soccer Program from 2001-2004.  During his four years on “the Hill”, he helped to set program records for wins in a season with 15 in 2003 and wins over a four year career with 46.  While a senior at HMHS, the varsity team achieved the program's 14th straight Colonial Conference championship; a record stretch during which the program did not relinquish the league title between 1987 and 2000.

 

Nixon is a Nationally Accredited and Certified Level 3 NFHS Soccer Coach, holds a New Jersey Youth Soccer and USSF "E" License, has earned Special Topics Diplomas and numerous certifications from United Soccer Coaches, completed various certifications through the Positive Coaching Alliance, and is also a certified TOPSoccer instructor by New Jersey Youth Soccer.  He currently resides with his wife, Lauren and daughters, Olivia and Avery in Cherry Hill.
