Jordan Zimmerman joins Eastside FC with a strong playing background and a holistic approach to player development. A native of Olympia, Washington, he began his youth career with Federal Way Storm, Blackhills FC, and Washington Premier FC before continuing on to the collegiate level.

Zimmerman competed at The Evergreen State College, where he earned NAIA All-American honors and First Team All-Conference recognition in 2016. He later transferred to Seattle University before returning to Evergreen for his final season in 2023. Following his collegiate career, he played two seasons in USL League Two with Oly FC.

He brings nearly a decade of coaching experience, having worked with Thurston County United, Mercer Island FC, and through camps and private training. His coaching philosophy emphasizes possession-based play, creating overloads in advantageous spaces, and developing players’ ability to read the game and adapt when more direct play is needed.

In addition to his work on the field, Zimmerman has a strong background in health and performance. As a certified sports nutritionist, personal trainer, and yoga instructor, he integrates physical development and overall wellness into his coaching, helping players become more complete athletes and individuals.

Coming from a family deeply rooted in the game, Zimmerman brings a lifelong passion for soccer and is excited to contribute to Eastside FC’s mission of building champions in life.
