In addition to his role as Director, Coach Akatsa coaches the CSC 94 Girls Gold team who were champions of

the 2006 Kicker Classic tournament and finalists at the Kick In the Bluegrass tournament in the spring of 2006.

where his team defeated the U.S. and Canadian teams. From there, Pete attended Eastern Kentucky University.

Since graduating from Eastern Kentucky University, Coach Akatsa has favorably touched the lives of hundreds

of players throughout his 20 years of coaching middle school, high school, and club soccer teams. During this

period, Coach Akatsa spent 12 seasons as the head coach of the Lexington Christian Academy men’s soccer

team which he guided to the finals of the All “A” State soccer tournament in 2004 and 2006. He was also

individually recognized for his work with the 2003 KHSAA Private Schools Soccer Coach of the Year award.
