Dacey also currently serves as the technical director for BSC Portland, the latest stop in a distinguished youth coaching career. Dacey coached the U-13 Boys and Girls within BSC Portland before he became technical director, and has extensive international experience at the youth coaching level.

Additionally, Dacey has coached in the U.S. Soccer Development Academy and the Elite Clubs National League. Dacey also served as the director of player development for the Virginia Rush Soccer Club, where he oversaw numerous youth programs, including the college advisory program that, in six years, sent over 180 graduates on to all levels of college soccer.
