Peter Walby

Head Coach

Boys Varsity Soccer

This is my 1styear coaching soccer at Fitzgerald High School. Coaching soccer began,fifteen

years ago,as a volunteer coach for my 4-year-old daughter’s team in St Clair Shores. I

coached in theSt Clair Shores Youth Soccer Program for six years. As my daughter's soccer

careeradvanced, I joined on as an assistant in the Grosse Pointe Soccer Association for three

years. Followed by, being an assistant with the St Clair Shores Select Soccer Club for two

years. 

I have also been a high school basketball coach for the past nineyears. These two sports

share a lot in common, both in defensive and offensive conditioning, strategies and skill sets.

Coaching Philosophy:

Being a coach is more than practices and games, which is why I am a substitute teacher in the

Royal Oak school district. Coaching includes mentoring student-athletes to achieve in both

athletics and academics
