Central Christian School Athletic Department is pleased to announce that Greg Steffen (’84 CCS alumnus) will be joining the Central Christian coaching staff as high school girls’ soccer coach. There has been great interest from current students at Central to start a girls’ soccer program and as the idea became a reality, Greg came to mind as an individual who could make this endeavor a success.

Greg has strong ties to the Central community, and has developed a strong reputation as a coach who gets results and does this with Christian integrity and discipleship.

After graduating from Central in 1984, Greg attended Hesston College, graduating in 1987. He completed his 4 year degree at Goshen College, graduating with a double major in Bible and Physical Education in 1990.  In 2003 Greg earned his Master of Arts in Religion (M.A.R.) from Eastern Mennonite Seminary in which his Master’s Thesis was titled, “The Discipling Coach”.  Greg understands Central’s spiritual and academic philosophy which helps our graduates be successful in their college and career endeavors.

Greg’s coaching experience is vast and the records are impressive:

•    1989: Goshen College Assistant Coach/Goalie Coach

•    1990-1991: Central Christian JV

•    1992-1998: Central Christian Varsity

•     1999-2005: Eastern Mennonite University Women’s Soccer Head Coach. Greg started the women’s soccer program at EMU and qualified for the conference tournament every year. Over a seven year period the EMU women’s soccer team had a record of 69-50-9 under Steffen. He had 9 ladies who were ODAC all-conference players, 2 NCAA regional All-Americans, and 3 NSCAA All-Academic teams.

•    2006-2011: Volunteer for local teams

•    2011-present: Ohio Strikers United

As a student of the game, Greg has gained knowledge from 14 years of head coaching experience, completing his National and Advance National coaching certification through the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA), and attending numerous NSCAA coaching conventions. He has coached many top level goal keepers and gives special attention to team building and injury prevention.

Central has had a strong history as one of the top men’s soccer programs in the area.  We, at Central, believe that Greg is the best choice for developing a girls’ soccer program into a premier program. We believe and expect that he will pursue excellence of Christian character in each player while demanding excellence in competitive play.

Greg currently resides in Kidron with his wife Michelle (’87 CCS alumnus) and their two children Elijah, grade 8, and Moriah, grade 6.

Please join us in welcoming Greg to our coaching staff at Central. We anticipate many exciting years under his leadership.
