Published 11:39am Thursday, November 4, 2010Students at Bob Jones are “fired up” over getting a new Varsity Boys soccer coach.
- Spiller said he feels the team could be the best in the state. He said he is prepared to work hard and he feels that the team will have a great season.
Uwe Spiller will take over the team starting with the 2011 season.
“I’m very excited about being here,” Spiller said after Principal Robby Parker introduced him to a room full of prospective players. “This is quite a big challenge for me. I’m looking forward to having a very successful year.
Spiller told the boys that he wants to turn the team around and build a dynasty.
“I think we have something special in the city and I encourage everyone to come and try out,” he said.
Spiller, a German native, has been playing soccer since age 6. He enlisted in the military and played on its soccer team as well. He moved to the Huntsville/Madison area in 1990 and has been coaching community and club soccer teams, including the Huntsville Futbol Club, Kicks and the Madison Sharks.
