MKA Announces New Head Boys' Soccer Coach
The Montclair Kimberley Academy is pleased to announce that Jordan Raper has been appointed as Head Boys' Varsity Soccer Coach for the 2008 season. Coach Raper will replace Huey Ferguson who has resigned in order to change careers with a position on Wall Street.
Coach Raper is currently the Director of Staff and Player Development at Ashley's Soccer in Montclair and The Soccer Domain. He currently has 60 full time staff and over 5,000 youth players under his guidance. Before moving into this position he directed the Academy program at The Soccer Domain in Montclair, having started working for the company in 1999.
Coach Raper brings a wealth of experience as a former player and coach and will be a tremendous asset to the MKA Department of Athletics and specifically, to the Boys' Soccer Team. His level of enthusiasm and clear vision for our program now and into the future bodes well for the MKA Boys' Soccer Team as we look to build upon what has been a very successful soccer tradition over the years (5 straight 'Prep B' State Championships).
Coach Raper is very familiar with the NJ youth soccer leagues and travel teams having coached numerous teams throughout his coaching career. His extensive experience and his knowledge of the game made him the perfect candidate to take over the Boys' Varsity Soccer program at MKA.
