Tim Verschuren joined the MSU women's soccer staff in February 2025.

Verschuren arrives in East Lansing after spending the last four seasons at Indiana, including the 2024 season as the Hoosiers’ associate head coach.

In four seasons at Indiana, six players were named All-Big Ten under Verschuren’s guidance, including the 2023 Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Year, Jamie Gerstenberg. The Hoosiers had their best season since 2013 in 2023, earning a fifth-place finish in the conference regular-season standings and a berth in the Big Ten tournament after going 6-2-2 for the program’s best-ever conference finish (20 points). Indiana also secured a bid to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2013 and appeared in the United Soccer Coaches Top 25 five times during the 2023 season.

During his first season in Bloomington in 2021, Verschuren helped lead the Hoosiers to a 9-5-4 record, which was the best overall record and most wins at the time since 2013.

Prior to Indiana, Verschuren was an assistant coach at Fairleigh Dickinson University from 2019-20. The Knights went 14-9-6 and 12-2-3 during Verschuren’s two seasons and advanced to the Northeast Conference championship game for the third time in program history in 2019. At FDU, he mentored a pair of All-NEC First Team honorees and one All-NEC Freshman Team recipient.

A native of Rotterdam, Netherlands, Verschuren got his start in collegiate coaching at NJIT, serving as an assistant coach from 2013-15. During his three seasons, he helped guide one Division I Independent Player of the Year and one Atlantic Sun All-Freshman Team honoree, while the Highlanders posted their best Division I record at the time in 2013.

After coming to the United States from the Netherlands in 2009, Verschuren coached at the club level in New Jersey and was the Academy Director for the STA Girls Development Academy, based in Morris County, New Jersey, for U.S. Soccer. During his time at STA, four players were called up to U.S. Youth National Teams, more than 15 players were called to regional U.S. National Team Centers and over 10 players committed to Division I programs since being named Academy Director in 2019.

Verschuren holds a USSF “A” Youth License as well as an NSCAA Advanced National Diploma. He graduated from University of the Hague in the Netherlands in 2009 with a degree in sports management and earned a master’s degree in soccer coaching from Ohio University in 2021.
