I am really excited about the future of our program, said Swift. Bringing Jameson on as my assistant will give stability and consistency to where we are going with the First Team. Micah will be great with the Reserve Team. He will provide an on-campus presence for the team and brings a great level of experience to the group. He will also be invaluable to the First Team with his goalkeeping background. Haas will be a great complement for Micah with our Reserves. This structure is really going to allow for the entire program to flourish.

Its a privilege to be a part of an institution that helps mold young men to impact their world for Christ, and I am anxious and excited to begin my college coaching career at Greenville.

Haas returns to his alma mater after graduating in 2014 with a degree in Business Management. He has been serving as the Boys Tennis Coach at Metro East Lutheran High School in Edwardsville. Haas was a 4-year member of both the soccer and tennis teams, and served as a team captain in his senior year at GC. I am excited to start my coaching career at Greenville, commented Haas. I have always dreamt of pursuing coaching after my playing career, and Im proud to do that at a place that means so much to me. I look forward to helping the players transition into college life and grow as young men.
