Newcastle Athletics announced the addition of Matt Ross as the next leader of the Newcastle Boys soccer program.
Coach Ross joins Newcastle after spending the past 16 years at Northwest Classen, where he built one of the state’s premier soccer programs.
During his tenure, the program captured a State Championship, finished as State Runner-Up, and made five semifinal appearances.
Ross has been recognized extensively for his leadership and success, earning West All-State Coach honors three times, ACAC Coach of the Year three times, and OSSAA State Coach of the Year honors for the 2019-2020 season.
A native of El Reno, Ross continued his academic and athletic career at Mid-America Christian University, where he served as a two-year captain, earned All-Region honors, and graduated with degrees in Mathematics and Business.
“I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to serve the students, athletes, and families of Newcastle,” Ross said. “I’m excited to build on the incredible foundation that has been laid within the soccer program. I want to help create an environment where we see each other as family. We serve one another, take care of one another, and love one another on and off the field.”
Matt and his wife, Meagan, are proud parents to their daughter, Maycie, and son, Sawyer.
The Racer Athletics program asks you to join them in welcoming Coach Ross and his family to the Newcastle community.
They stated, “We are excited for the future of Newcastle Soccer under his leadership.”
