TSC Announces 2008/2009 Coaching Staff
Thoroughbreds Soccer Club announces their coaching staff for the upcoming 2008/2009 season.  From the top to the bottom, the staff is arguably the best staff that the Thoroughbreds Soccer Club has ever produced with many of the coaches carrying a United States Soccer Federation “D” license or better.   

You can see the entire 2008/2009 TSC Coaching Staff by clicking here:  2008-2009 TSC Coaching Staff 

New to the staff are the following coaches and some highlights to go with their credentials: 
Ken Lolla (U12Boys)Coach Lolla is currently the Head Men’s Soccer Coach at the University of Louisville.  He will be working with both teams in this age group and brings a great deal of experience and excitement to the club! 

Denis Beall (U13Boys)Coach Beall is back with the club after a year of absence to work on his doctorate degree.  He is also the Head Boys Coach at South Oldham High School and former coach of the TSC ‘95Boys, who he took to the Eurosport Cup Championship in 2006.  We are delighted to have him back with the club. 

Brian Walters (U15Boys)Coach Brian is the current assistant coach for our U16Boys/White team as well as the head girl’s coach at North Bullitt High School.  Coach Walters is also a member of the Kentucky Olympic Development Staff and we are very fortunate to have him as a member of our staff. 

Charlie Edwards (U12Boys and U10Boys)Coach Charlie is a recent graduate of the University of Louisville where he was a four-year letter winner for the Cardinals.  He is a former Georgia Gatorade Player-of-the-Year as a goalkeeper and may be called upon to do some club goalkeeper training as well. 

We are very excited about these new additions to our club, as well as the entire staff throughout.  There may be a need to add additional coaches to the staff prior to the teams beginning league play in August, we will announce these coaches as the numbers at tryouts dictate their appointments.  Please help us spread the word about this fantastic coaching staff that we have assembled and help drive the numbers at our upcoming tryouts the first week of June.
