	Dan Woerner - Head Coach Coach Woerner is entering his third year as head coach of the Lady Cavaliers. Having coached men and women programs for 20 years at the collegiate level, Coach Woerner brings a great deal of experience to the Cavalier soccer program. He played collegiate soccer at Toccoa Falls College (1976-79) and began his coaching career as an assistant coach in 1980 at his Alma matter, under then head coach Julio Vena, his mentor and college coach. After playing for several years in amateur leagues in the southeast, he began to coach once again at Toccoa Falls as an assistant in the fall of 1986 and has been coaching ever since. He was an assistant coach from 1986-1988 and became head men’s soccer coach at Toccoa Falls in 1988 and coached the men’s soccer program through the summer of 1998. During that time coach Woerner won several NCCAAII region championships and was runner-up on three different occasions in the NCCAAII championship. In the summer of 1998 he and his wife moved to Redding, CA where he became head men’s soccer coach at Simpson University for one season. In the fall of 1999, he began coaching the women’s program at Simpson where he coached until June 2005. “One of the great rewards of coaching,” says coach Woerner “is the friendships that are created on the team which last a lifetime. I treasure the friendships and the opportunity to get to know wonderful student-athletes that God has brought into my life.” Coach Woerner received his NSCAA advanced coaching diploma in 1995 and regularly attends coaching seminars all around the country to learn more about the game. Coach Woerner is originally a missionary kid from Chile, South America and attended high school in Quito, Ecuador, where the mission his parents worked under had an academy.
