Former Kalani girls soccer coach Michelle Richardson has moved up to head coach at Chaminade.<\/p>\n
She guided Kalani to OIA East titles in 2009 and 2010. The team also was OIA Red runner-up in 2010 and later finished third in the state tournament.<\/p>\n
Richardson has coached nearly 20 years, including 14 in Hawaii and Northern California. The St. Mary’s College graduate was a four-year letter winner and the Gaels’ team captain her senior year.<\/p>\n
Chaminade also has hired Marcus Chambers as men’s soccer coach and Keawe Ayau as women’s tennis coach. A New Mexico native, Chambers directs Hawaii Rush Soccer Club’s 15-team Youth Academy and coaches its U18 team. Prior to his arrival here last year, he directed the Youth Academy of New Mexico’s Rush Soccer Club for six years. A graduate of New Mexico State and its team captain, he later played for National Premier Soccer League’s Albuquerque Asylum team.<\/p>\n
Ayau took over as Silverswords’ interim head coach last season and guided them to their only tennis victory of the 2013 campaign, a 5-4 win over George Fox. A three-time state champion in both singles and doubles at Kamehameha, Ayau gives private tennis lessons to all ages and recently guided a team of seniors to the USTA Super Senior League national championships in Arizona.<\/p>\n
