Rob Walker

The 2015 season will mark Walker's ninth season as both the head men's and women's soccer coach at Saint Martin's University. He began both programs at the club level in 2006 before the two squads officially joined the GNAC in 2007.

In 2009, he led the men's soccer team to the school's first-ever GNAC title on his way to earning GNAC Coach of the Year honors. He was also named Co-Coach of the Year on the women's side.

He has been working with Federal Way Football Club here in Washington since 2006 helping lead them to the Regional Club League (the top league in the state) and had two US Club Soccer National Champions.

Walker has vast experience coaching about both the high school, college and club level prior to his development of the soccer programs here at SMU.

He got his start coaching the boy's and girl's teams at Timberline High School in Lacey where he won over 125 games from 1983-1992.

Walker also gained valuable coaching experience early in career serving as a volunteer assistant at three NAIA schools. From 1990-93 he worked with the Belhaven men's soccer team in Jackson, Mississippi during their preseason as the team went on to finish as NAIA National Champion in 1992. He also worked as a volunteer assistant at Houghton College in Houghton, New York in 1994 and from 1995-2000 at Mobile University in Alabama as the team's 1999 squad was national runners-up at the NAIA level.

He has been extremely active at the club level and youth coaching ranks having conducted 75-plus US Soccer state sponsored coaching courses in Washington and Alabama for the past 33 years.
