Kieron Heblich.


Head Coach

Biography:

Coach Kieron Heblich joined Panther Nation in the fall of 2023.  You will notice that Coach Heblich isn’t from around these parts.   He is from across the ocean in a country called England.  He was born in Cyprus, but I grew up in Scarborough, England.  He attended high school and college in his native land however, he also attended college here in the United States at Meridian Community College in Mississippi.  He then went on for more education and attended Northeastern State University in Oklahoma and then finished graduate school at Christian Brothers University.  Yes, he is a footballer, as you can imagine, and we don’t mean American football it’s what we Yankees call soccer.  He has played soccer all his life.  He was an apprentice at the professional level at Scarborough Football Club and played semi-professional for Harrogate Town, Whitby Town, and Pickering Town (all in England). He played collegiate soccer at Meridian Community College and Northeastern State University. After playing soccer Coach Heblich turned to the coaching ranks. He has been a coach for over 25 years.  At that time, he settled into American life in Memphis, Tennessee.  Coach Heblich’s wife is an Augusta native.  Together they have 3 kids; Jack, Charlie, and Libby. His passion is soccer, and he is an avid Tottenham Hotspur & England supporter.  He is looking forward to helping students achieve goals in athletics as well as their physical education and being involved in a community that cares a lot about its school.

Assistant Coach

Biography:

This will be my first year at Episcopal Day School and my third year coaching alongside Coach Kieron. I bring more than 14 years of coaching experience with the Bulls travel program, working with athletes of all ages. I have also coached at the high school level, spending six years at Grovetown High School and one season at Augusta Christian. Throughout my coaching career, I’ve worked with both boys and girls, with a strong emphasis on goalkeeper development.

Originally from Pennsylvania, I have called the CSRA home for over 20 years. My husband and I moved to the area in 2002. He retired from the Army in 2008 and continues to work at Fort Gordon. We have one son who will graduate this spring from Augusta University.

Coaching has always been a true passion of mine, rooted in a lifelong love of sports. As an athlete, I played basketball, softball, and field hockey growing up and continued playing field hockey through middle school, high school, and college at Bloomsburg University. During my junior year, our team won the NCAA Division II National Championship, and I was honored as an All-American.

Although I did not grow up playing soccer, the sport quickly became a passion. With the support of outstanding mentors, coaches, and resources, my journey over the past 14 years has shaped me into the coach I am today. While I love the game, the most rewarding part of coaching is helping young athletes grow—both as strong teammates on the field and as confident, respectful individuals off the field.
