Bill Castellan, Christopher Eley and Debbie Cooper, three new coaches at Wakefield Country Day school, share a common goal — to build and develop their teams. Each of the teachers brings a unique perspective and appreciation for the traditions and opportunities available at the school.
Though athletic director Castellan would “like to win a few games,” along the way, all the coaches agree that teamwork is most important, combined with improving physical fitness and having fun.
Castellan, a graduate of Kings’ College, Pa., teaches physical education and coaches boys’ basketball. He describes Wakefield as a place where “you can get done what you want to get done. There’s no bureaucracy to slow you down.” He and assistant coach Christopher Eley, a fifth grade teacher, consider competition in the Delaney Athletic Conference of private schools a challenge, but not an insurmountable one.
“I believe it is possible, despite our small numbers, to . build a great program,” said Castellan in a recent interview. Eley, who also coaches soccer, agrees that Wakefield “can go a great distance in the next couple of years,” even against the larger schools in the conference, such as Massanutten Military Academy.
