Peter "Hooter" Glidden

Peter “Hooter” Glidden is rejoining Grassroot Soccer as a Senior Program Expansion Coordinator, working to support the growth of new programs globally. Hooter spent several years post-college working for GRS throughout Africa, first as an intern in South Africa, followed by years of writing curriculum and facilitating training of coaches throughout the continent. Over the past decade, Peter has taught in schools, led youth community service programs, and coached High School girls’ soccer in New Mexico (still his home base). In 2018, Hooter was recognized as the West Region Coach of the Year by United Soccer Coaches after three consecutive state titles. Hooter is a proud father of two small soccer-playing children who spend time exploring the enchantments and dusty fields of New Mexico. Hooter is thrilled to be back at GRS and proud of the team’s incredible growth & accomplishments in the past decade!
