Adrian Blewitt,
Director of Soccer
at Lenoir-Rhyne College, heads the Golden Touch Camp staff. In his three
years at LR, Blewitt has taken the men’s soccer team from the bottom of the
SAC to the top, winning the SAC Tournament Championship in 2006 and
finishing with a final national ranking of #5.
The Bears also broke the
school record for the number of wins in a single season (19) which was set
in by Blewitt’s first season in 2005 (13). The 2006 Men also made the NCAA
tournament for the first time in program history, finishing as the #1 seed
in the Appalachian Region, the season eventually ending in the ‘sweet 16’.
Blewitt was named the SAC ‘Coach of the Year’ and the Appalachian region
‘Coach of the Year’, as well as being one of 8 candidates for national coach
of the year.
In December of 2006,
Blewitt was named ‘Director of Soccer’ and accepted the challenge of taking
the reigns of the LR Women’s program as well as the men’s. In his first
season coaching the LR Women, Blewitt’s ladies more than doubled their
number of wins and advanced to the semi-final of the SAC Tournament.
LR assistant coach Tom Gott will direct the goalkeeping academy as well as
serve as assistant camp director.
