Drawing from the wealth of soccer expertise in the area, Fleming has announced two local residents as its new coaches - Victor Waselenko joins Fleming as the new Head Coach for the men's varsity soccer program and David Brown has been named as the new Head Coach for the women's varsity soccer program.
Victor has been a faculty member at Fleming College since 2013 with the School of Business and has also owned Soccer Plus, a soccer sporting goods store in Peterborough. Victor's prior soccer leadership experience includes being President and Technical Coaching Director of the Peterborough Youth Soccer Club, Director of Coaching for the Peterborough City Soccer Association, and coaching at various levels from U9-U21. Victor is currently the coach of Peterborough City U15 Boys Soccer.
David is currently the Head Coach, Varsity Girls at Trinity College School in Port Hope. David's prior experience also includes being the Director of Coaching with Maple Leaf Cavan FC, Head Coach, Varsity Girls Soccer in Belgium at St. John's International School, and Volunteer Assistant Coach with the Men's Varsity Soccer Program at Trent University. David has also been the Co-Technical Director Northumberland Soccer Club, Port Hope, and held head coach positions for soccer teams at Lakefield College School and Brentwood College School, and international schools in Belgium.
Securing Waselenko and Brown is a step in the right direction for the development of student athletes and the varsity soccer program. Both coaches bring their vast knowledge, leadership and experience to the game.
A priority for the program will be to strengthen the relationship between the Fleming Phoenix and local soccer leagues to increase awareness and interest for local players to take their game to the next level with the Fleming Phoenix.
