Soccer community mourns loss of Andy Waughman
Andy Waughman, Technical Director and Head Coach with Kelowna United FC, passed away on Christmas Day, surrounded by his loving family, following a lengthy illness.
He was the sort of coach in youth sports that all of us want our kids to have. It’s not easy to find coaches who have knowledge of the game, tremendous commitment, and a great relationship with the players. He had it all.
Andy was one who always put the kids first. He loved kids and he loved to coach them. All who had the pleasure of working with or being coached by this passionate, genuine man will sadly miss him.
Andy joined Kelowna United in October 2008 after coaching extensively in Vernon, where he served as technical director and was instrumental in establishing the Predators Academy and the Okanagan’s participation in the Super Y League.
He was born and raised in East London, where he played semi-pro soccer in the youth division of the West Ham United Football Club and for Leyton Orient FC. Later, he travelled to Israel where he trained with youth national teams from Russia, Bulgaria, and Romania. He finished his career played semi-pro in England after trying out for teams in Germany and Sweden.
Andy cherished the years he spent playing throughout the world and says it fueled his passion and allowed him to pass on his love of the beautiful game to all those fortunate enough to train with him.
He will be missed by all that knew him.

It’s not “Good-bye,” but rather, “Until we meet again.”
