Andy McCaslin begins his second season as an assistant on the Crusader coaching staff.  In his first season, Valpo enjoyed one of its finest defensive campaigns in program history, giving up just 28 goals over its 18 matches.  He also serves as the camp director for the Valpo Soccer VIP program, which drew in 90 campers over two sessions in the summer of 2009.

Prior to arriving at Valpo, McCaslin has spent time as a team trainer/head coach for ALITHSA and as head coach for the Junior Irish Soccer Club.  In addition to his duties with the Crusaders, he also currently is the head coach of the NWI United FC U-15 boys squad, as well as an assistant coach within the Indiana ODP.  He holds his NSCAA Advanced National Diploma, his USSF National “C” License and his National Youth License.

McCaslin played intercollegiate soccer for three seasons at DePauw University, where he earned letters all three years.  He graduated from DePauw with a degree in English Writing in 2004.
