Linfield Christian School

Meet the Coach - TARA CARROLL
I have been involved in youth soccer for over thirty years and have experienced coaching teams of diverse age groups and skill levels.  I have also coached at professional soccer camps for many years and instructed young women playing at the national level.  I am a faculty member at Linfield and teach Economics and AP Government.

I feel very fortunate to have such a remarkable coaching staff.  Assistant Coach Dave Brown brings to the team education and training in fitness and leadership.  Assistant Coach Jackie Taylor is an expert defensive and goalie coach.  The three of us are Linfield parents, and feel very blessed with this invaluable opportunity to coach the Linfield Christian High School girls soccer team. 

The support of our athletic department has enabled us to create an environment where the girls learn the Godly attributes of teamwork and perseverance.   Competing in soccer at the high school level can be an extremely challenging experience.  The girls must play aggressively, being careful never to cross the line that will compromise their integrity and the Godly standards of this team. This can be a difficult task when faced with the challenges of unfair play.  We read in James 1:12, “Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him.” 

We think high school soccer should be a fun and rewarding experience for the girls.  When they leave this program we pray that they will take with them a true understanding of the value of hard work, perseverance, sisterhood and lifelong memories they can cherish.
