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.
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 and her husband Trent Castleman married this summer. He serves as a Personal Trainer/ Training Director for Urban Active.
Leah McCormick Endicott joins head coach Leah Crews Castleman during an inaugural first season for both coaches. Like Castleman, Endicott is a former collegiate player, having spent her days as a member of the women's soccer team at Appalachian State University. She led her team in the role of captain for three years and earned a BS in Political Science from the NCAA Division I school.
The Lexington native graduated from Henry Clay High where she was a member of the varsity swim team and club volleyball while playing four years of soccer both for the Blue Devils and the Kentucky Kickers. Leah, who works as a product designer in textiles, and her husband, Beau, live in Midway and are the proud parents of a new baby boy, Langston Beaumont.
