KINGSTON, Ont. – Former St. Lawrence College Kingston Male Athlete of the Year (2005-06) Steve Douglas was named Vikings men's soccer head coach, as announced by Tri-Campus Athletic Director Brad Greenwood Tuesday, July 5, 2011.
 
Douglas grabs the reigns after serving the role of assistant for the past five years alongside Ryan Poser, who stepped down to pursue other endeavours. He takes over a Vikings squad that finished 2-2-1 last season, just shy of a playoff spot.
 
“We are delighted to introduce Steve Douglas as head coach of our men's varsity soccer team at SLC Kingston,” Greenwood commented. “Steve has paid his dues as an assistant coach and his playing career speaks for itself. We are confident in Steve's abilities as a coach and expect great things as a result of his leadership.”
 
Boasting an impeccable soccer pedigree, Douglas carries over 15 years of coaching experience and an outstanding playing career. The Kingston native currently coaches the Kingston Clippers U-17 girls team and was the head coach of the Frontenac Secondary School boys soccer program, which qualified for the OFSAA Championships seven of his eleven years at the helm.
 
“Obtaining the head coaching role for this program was one of my goals,” Douglas said. “Another one is to build this program into a constant contender each season.”
 
Douglas also coached various teams at the Kingston Women's Soccer Club and holds a National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) Level III coaching certificate.
 
“His vast experience and infectious affinity with Vikings soccer will be invaluable to our soccer program and to the athletes that represent us,” Greenwood continued. “It is always great to have an alumnus and a former star athlete return to St. Lawrence to lead our teams.”
 
As a player, Douglas collected several accolades including SLC Kingston Male Athlete of the Year (2005-06). He was a five-time OCAA East Region All-Star and a three-time OCAA All-Star. He competed on both the outdoor and indoor teams for the Vikings, where he was named team MVP seven times.
