The men’s team made many regional appearances, coming close to a state appearance once during Navas' tenure. If you ask Jason what his favorite part of coaching is, it would be the numerous camps he has coached at including Coach Bill and Rashawn Finesse and Finishing Soccer Camp, Ged O’Connor Soccer Camp, and FC Barcelona Camp.
