Coaching Spotlight! Ayo Lapite

I began coaching with PAYSL in January 2022 shortly after we enrolled my son in the Pflugerville FC Academy, working with the 2015 boys team, and now I am co-head coach of the 2016 boys Red and White teams. I first coached in 2015 with the Columbus Express Soccer Club when I lived in Indiana, and coached U-8 teams for about a year and a half. I obtained my US Soccer E & F licenses during that period. Since resuming coaching this year, I have gone back to complete my Grassroots license. I am very passionate about soccer/football and I aim to pass that passion to the kids while ensuring they improve both individually and as a team.
