Congratulations to our 25/26 Coaches of the Year!! These coaches exemplify KASL values on and off the field. Their commitment to their teams, passion for the game, and the example they set for their players is truly admirable.
⚽️ All-Girls Coach of the Year:
Melissa Retzlaff (1st/2nd grade Catholic Financial Life) has coached this group since they were 3 years old, and is head coach of a kindergarten coed team also! She is a true role model for her players, always smiling and showing respect for opposing coaches and players and referees.
⚽️ Coed Youngsters Coach of the Year:
Pablo Martini (4K Barons) has coached this team for 2 years and is adored by his players. His soccer knowledge runs deep, and it is very apparent when watching his young team play. Pablo is a pleasure to have on the KASL coaching staff.
⚽️ Coed Core Coach of the Year:
Matt Dahl (1st grade SurfaceX) has coached his team since they were preschoolers. He has a great demeanor on and off the field and has done an incredible job of developing his players over the years. He is also very generous with his time, assisting a second KASL team.
⚽️ Rookie of the Year:
Ken Stoner (3rd/4th grade Arvato) is wrapping up his first full season as head coach for KASL. He volunteered to coach when his child’s team did not have one and has done an exemplary job. KASL could not operate without dedicated parent volunteers, and we are so grateful to Ken for stepping up!
Please join me in congratulating these amazing KASL coaches! We hope they continue coaching for many years to come!
