Welcoming New Coaches

We are thrilled to announce the arrival of three exceptional coaches to our team for the upcoming spring season. Each of these coaches brings a unique set of experiences, a passion for soccer, and a strong connection to our community. Let's get to know them better:

Dominic Washington:
Dominic is no stranger to the Ben Davis soccer scene. Currently serving as the head coach of the Ben Davis Girls' soccer team, he brings with him a wealth of knowledge and a deep understanding of the game. As a former Ben Davis soccer and football player, Dominic's roots in the community run deep. He's also a dedicated teacher at Deer Run Elementary in Pike Township school district. This showcases his commitment to both education and sports. His presence and expertise will undoubtedly be an asset to our young athletes. His coaching philosophy is No Grind, No Grit, No Greatness. Dominic pushes his players to learn to be comfortable when in uncomfortable situations.

Angel Torres:
Angel Torres is a proud Ben Davis graduate and a familiar name for those who have followed the Ben Davis Soccer Club. Not only did he lead the club in scoring for three seasons during his playing days, but he has also shown his prowess as a coach over the past three years. Angel's teams consistently ranked among the top finishers. This fall his Ben Davis Reapers team finished as end-of-season tournament champions. Despite a busy life working full-time and being a student, Angel's passion for coaching shines through. We're excited to have him share his knowledge and dedication with our players.

Victor Igbekoyi:
Hailing from Nigeria, Victor has a rich soccer heritage. Victor is a former professional player and joined our coaching staff after his time coaching his sons with Ben Davis Soccer Club. His experience as a professional player in the United Soccer League with North Carolina FC, is sure to inspire and elevate the skills of our young talents. We are fortunate to have his international perspective and professional insights within our coaching team.

The common thread that ties these coaches together is their connection to the Ben Davis community and their shared passion for soccer. We believe that their presence will not only enhance our players' skills but also contribute to the sense of belonging and unity within Next 11 Academy.

As we gear up for the spring season, we eagerly anticipate the positive impact that Dominic, Angel, and Victor will have on our young athletes. Join us in welcoming them to our Next 11 Academy family, and let's make this upcoming season one to remember!
