Skyrocket Soccer is directed by Doug Lucas, who acquired a love for ‘futbol’ while serving as a missionary with his wife, Penny, in South America. He has played on the streets of Madrid, the shores of Uruguay, and with a national champion club soccer team in Kentucky. He is a FIFA-certified referee and received his National Coaching License in Nashville, TN at Lipscomb University. For the past 3 years, he has served as Head Coach of Christian Academy’s men’s varsity team.  Interestingly, in each of those years, the team has managed to knock off state-ranked teams that were undefeated in conference play, thereby progressing on to their Regional Tournament. In previous years, CAL had never made it out of Districts.

"Leading Skyrocket is one of the most challenging and, at the same time, most gratifying weeks of my summer," reports Coach Lucas. "Our goal is to focus on skills, fitness, knowledge, and fun. We would like to think that finding that magical mix is a Skyrocket speciality." Coach Lucas must be on track... since Skyrocket Soccer has become one of the most popular summer soccer camps in the region!
