Peter Walby

Head Coach

Boys JVB Soccer

This is my 4th year coaching soccer at Royal Oak 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.
