Patrick Kennedy enters his fourth year as an assistant coach for the Navy soccer program after spending the previous four years as a volunteer assistant coach. An outstanding recruiter, Kennedy has helped improve the talent level of the Navy soccer program over the last three seasons. Kennedy has been a member of the Navy coaching staff for the last seven years. As a volunteer coach for four years, Kennedy worked full-time in Washington D.C., for Naval Criminal Investigative Service. Before working in the government sector, he served seven years on active duty in the United States Navy and was stationed in San Diego, Washington, D.C., and overseas. While serving in the military, he was selected to play with the All-Navy and All-Armed Services teams and represented the U.S. Armed Forces Team in Cairo, Egypt, at the World Military Games in 2000 and 2002. His last duty station was the Office of Naval Intelligence in Suitland, Md., before resigning his active duty commission as a Lieutenant in 2002. Kennedy started his coaching career in youth select soccer in San Diego in 1997, where he coached the Villa Soccer Club. He has coached at a number of elite summer camps including Hubert Volgelsinger Soccer Academy, Virginia Tech and Navy. In 2005, he received his "A" coaching license through the United States Soccer Foundation. This past May 2007, Kennedy received an International Advanced Professional Coaching certification from Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic. This program was a 3-week advanced coaching course and included stays with Czech National Youth Teams, and professional teams AC Sparta, and Bohemians Club teams. Kennedy continues to coach the Maryland State Olympic Development Program (U-16 & U-17 Teams). He and Coach Rich Miranda led the Maryland U-16 State Team to its first ever Regional Finalist at the US Youth Soccer Olympic Development Regional Championships held at Kirkwood, Delaware this past June. Kennedy comes from a long line of soccer influences, as his father was the head coach at Belmont Abbey College before starting the men's soccer program at Wake Forest University from 1979-1987. His uncle, Matt Kennedy, was a professional goalkeeper and played in the now-defunct Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) and the National American Soccer League (NASL). He coaches for the Concord Fire youth select teams in Atlanta, Georgia and conducts clinics and soccer camps around the country. Kennedy continues to play competitive soccer on a premier men's team in Northern Virginia Soccer League. Kennedy resides in Alexandria, Va., and is currently pursuing his master's degree at the George Washington University in Engineering Management with a focus in Crisis and Emergency management. # GO NAVY # |
