HEAD COACH: Skelly Kellar

Email: skelly.kellar@gmail.com

Head Coach, Skelly Kellar concludes his first season as Head Coach; second season at SCC. The Chokes had remarkable growth under leadership from Kellar from the already promising team of 2008 (comprised by former Head Coach, Rand Weiskittel). The Chokes finised the 2009 season, ranked fourth in conference. Which qualified the team the team to host the first round of Regionals; the Chokes ended up falling short to Phoenix in the first round.

The regional appearance was a huge improvement for the program as just two years prior the team concluded its season without one victory. Former coach Weiskittel, who now serves as assistant laid the foundation for the program and Kellar took off running with it; recruting many top in-state athletes as well as strengthening team vision and standards. Kellar plans to return with a punch and goal to make it to Nationals next season.

Prior to his arrival at SCC, Kellar played DII soccer and graduated from Azusa Pacific University ('07). There he lead his team to the National Tournament three years in a row ('04-'06)! The first appearance at the tournament was only the second time in school history; the latter two appearances his team made it all the way to the finals only to come up short both years. During his tenure at Azusa, Kellar was a four time All Region honoree and two time All American.

Since graduation Kellar has played in the PDL (Premier Development League), USL (United Soccer League) and on two 1st Division teams in South Africa. Through years of playing with prestigious athletes and developing into a premier soccer player himself, Kellar offers exceptional experience and fresh ideas to SCC soccer program.
