ABOUT THE COACH

This will be Ashlee Slayback’s second season as head coach of the St. Charles Community College women’s soccer team. The former Texas A&M soccer star is excited to be a part of the team’s fourth season as a NJCAA sanctioned sport.

After finishing her professional career with the St. Louis Athletica in 2009, Slayback focused on coaching and giving back to the game she loves. She coached and trained for the St. Louis Scott Gallagher Soccer Club along with taking a head-coaching job at Ursuline Academy.

In Slayback’s two years as head coach for Ursuline Academy, they have won a district championship and she also led them to the state championship game, where they lost in overtime. Extremely proud of her team’s efforts, Slayback was named Private School Coach of the Year for Missouri.

Slayback also played a season with the Boston Renegades after graduating from Texas A&M in 2008, with a bachelor’s degree in sports management and a minor in business.

Slayback holds the record at Texas A&M for playing 92 consecutive games from 2004-07,
as well as goals scored (81) and points (194). 

As a freshman at Texas A&M, Slayback was named the 2004 Big 12 Conference Rookie of the Year, and three years later was named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year. In 2008,  Slayback received the Honda Sports Award and the UMBRO/Dallas Soccer News Women’s College Player of the Year Award. 

Slayback feels that coaching is a natural fit for her since she no longer plays. Her life has revolved around soccer and she feels fortunate to have had fantastic coaches along the way. They were instrumental in her soccer successes but also in shaping her into the person she is today. Looking back, she appreciates the extra effort they put in with
her and wants to thank them by giving back to the game they all love.

Slayback currently resides in St. Peters with her husband, Josh, and their son, Gavin
