Girls soccer has thrived at Thacher since the School went co-ed in 1978. While there have been eight league championships since then, the girls who have participated in the program have measured their success on the field in more than games won. Thacher teams embrace hard work, fundamentals of the sport, and healthy competition as they play on the storied Upper Field under view of Ojai’s Twin Peaks.
The Thacher Girls Varsity Soccer team had its most successful season in school history. The team finished with a record of 14 wins 2 losses and 1 tie. On the year, the team scored 112 and had 88 assists, while only conceding 16 goals. We finished the year ranked 7th in the state in goals scored. The Toads won the Frontier League and were CIF finalists. Several players received individual honors following the 2021-2022 season.
Bob played four years of varsity soccer at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut and continued to play in adult soccer clubs well after college. Over the past 25 years, he’s coached every level of soccer for both boys’ and girls’ teams, including youth, middle, and high school. He’s entering his 5th year as the girls’ varsity soccer coach here at Thacher, again bringing his philosophy that it’s vital for every team member to play meaningful minutes in each game. In his program, every player is important, valued, and develops the lifelong skills of teamwork, sportsmanship, clear communication, and managing both success and failure.
