Gillette College plans to hire coaches for soccer teams

GILLETTE, Wyo. — Gillette College will begin advertising for two new coaches in October to lead soccer teams the school hopes to have competing in fall 2016.

The Gillette News Record reports that the two-year community college will add both a men’s and women’s soccer team and that the coaches should start work in January.

Gillette College CEO Mark Englert says some of the recruited players would likely be housed in the second phase of student housing expected to be completed in fall 2016.

The teams will likely play other community college teams in Wyoming, including Sheridan College, Laramie County Community College in Cheyenne, Western Wyoming Community College in Riverton and Northwest College in Powell, along with other junior college teams in the region.
