Head Coach Randy Stratton

Randy grew up in Trumbull, Connecticut where he grew in his love for sports, including competitive soccer. Randy was recruited to play soccer at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio where earned a B.A. in psychology. Soon after, Randy moved to Columbus, Ohio where he worked in youth ministry at Hillcrest Baptist Church and joined the coaching staff with a local team alongside his pastor.

Randy’s mission is to help young people grow to be stronger soccer players and stronger followers of God.

Assistant Coach Landon Inman

Landon grew up in Portland, Oregon where he started playing soccer at five years old. Playing competitive club soccer through middle and high school, Landon went on to help win two 6A State Championships with his high school team. In college, Landon played on the club team at the University of Portland and spent time during the summers coaching various ages at soccer and sports camps.

He looks to share the many ways that sport can teach discipline and reveal deep truths about God and how life works. On top of his love for soccer, he is an avid skier and surfer, loving a good adrenaline rush. In his book, falling is part of the process of learning, and often says, "if you aren't falling, you aren't trying". Landon lives with his new wife Savannah, who is attending Princeton Theological Seminary. They share a love for following Jesus, learning, and building community.
