Coach Auffarth has strong college experience as well.  He was a four year starter for SUNY Albany as a freshman when they won the ECAC tournament and played in the NCAA tournament in his junior year. 

After college he had a brief semi-professional career with the NYC semi pro team Inca El Diario. 

Head Coach Brett Polow and Jason Auffarth have been playing together since 1990 as teammates on New Rochelle United.  "There aren't too many players I played with who had the skills and saviness on a pitch like Jay," coach Polow says.  “Having him as my assistant at Monroe is a natural thing for us because we’re on the same page on what it takes to build a winning program.”

Coach Auffarth is a commercial real estate broker.  He resides in Larchmont, NY and is married and has two beautiful daughters.
