Women's Soccer
Head Coach Leah Crews Castleman
Leah Crews Castleman begins her first season as Georgetown College's Women's Soccer Coach this fall. No stranger to Georgetown College, Leah was an important part of the program's history as a student-athlete from 2001 to 2005.
The former Tiger has plenty to show for her collegiate career, including being one of five All-Americans in the program's history. She was also an All-Region and All-Conference goalkeeper and was a Conference and Region Player of the Week during her career. In her final season she received the Mid-South Conference Senior Scholar-Athlete Award.
Castleman says it is special being back on the Georgetown campus. “I have special ties to this program and a lot of pride in what my teammates and I accomplished. I want to continue to see this program have great success in the future.”
The Hendersonville, Tenn. native graduated from Georgetown College with a Bachelor’s Degree in Art and Education and then went on to graduate from the University of Kentucky with a Master’s Degree in studio art. While in graduate school, Leah coached for Woodford County High School as assistant and goalkeeper coach. She also coached the Lexington Football Club as assistant 2003-2005 and head coach from 2006-2008. In addition, last year she was the assistant coach for the Kentucky Olympic Development Program. She currently holds a USSF national “C” license, and has earned a NSCAA regional goalkeeping diploma.
Castleman feels a special calling to being more than a coach. “I love to teach and being a coach is being a teacher. It’s great to see players develop, improve, and succeed as a result of this great institution.”
Leah is married to Trent Castleman, who serves as a Personal Trainer/ Training Director for Urban Active.
