Warren Backman joined Bill Maddock's as an assistant coach prior to the 2022 season and begins his second campaign in that role in 2023. 

Backman's first year with the Rams was one for the record books as the team played their way into the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) Championship contest for the first time in program history after going 8-8-5 in the regular-season and 4-2-3 in league play. Awards poured in for Suffolk student-athletes highlighted by Brady Sorensen's second-team United Soccer Coaches All-Region selection. He was one of five players to earn All-CCC honors. The trio of Xander Balog, Jack Phelps and Tommy Handeslman secured spots on the all-league second-team, while Sorensen and Carter Van Buskirk picked up third-team nods. 

Backman came to Boston after a one-year stint at Lynn University. He was an essential cog to all things Lynn soccer ranging from daily practices to games, scouting reports, recruiting, team activities and scheduling. On top of his collegiate responsibilities, he coordinated and contributed to all of the sports information tasks for home and road events including game recaps and broadcasting. 

For his efforts at Lynn, Backman was the 2021-22 recipient of the 30 Under 30 from the United Soccer Coaches, a nationwide governing body of soccer. Each year the organization conducts a yearly search to find the best 30 "up and coming" soccer coaches under 30 years old from across the country, regardless of experience or level of coaching. 

Prior to his time at Lynn, Backman spent 2019-2021 at Regis as a Graduate Assistant coach and Game Operations Manager and served as the Interim Head Coach for the 2020-21 academic year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In that span he was the sole recruiter for the program, which was recognized with back-to-back Top Recruiter awards from Regis. Backman accomplished these feats while working towards his Masters of Arts in Strategic Communication.  

Regis gave Backman his first collegiate coaching experience two years following his playing days at Emerson. The Lion, originally from Spring Hill, Florida, appeared in 47 matches, started 34, from 2014-17. He recorded four goals and three assists with both strikers and 75 percent of his handouts coming his season senior in 2017.  

Backman's coaching resume is club heavy with stints at Team Boca, SFC New England, Aztec Youth Soccer Club, and Global Premier Soccer. 

The 2018 graduate of Emerson with a Bachelors of Arts in Media Arts Production and minor in sports Communication, Backman holds multiple coaching licenses including US Soccer E, US Soccer F, US Soccer 11v11, US Soccer 9v9, US Soccer 7v7 and US Soccer "Grassroots."
