Vancouver, BC – Alvin Prasad has been named head coach of the Langara Falcons women's soccer program as announced today by Sean Shook, Manager, Athletics and Campus Recreation
"We were impressed with Alvin's experience, energy, and vision for the program," said Shook. "As a former Falcon he has deep roots to the campus as both a student and national champion athlete.
Since 2015 Prasad has been coaching with Fusion Football Club. He has coached both girls and boys sides in the BC Soccer Premier League. Prasad has also held coaching positions with Streetball FC (Gothia Cup Champions, Sweden) and Vancouver Football Club.
After graduating from Richmond High School, Prasad played three years for the Falcons. A defensive stalwart, Prasad was part of back-to-back CCAA National Championship-winning men's soccer teams during 1999 and 2000.
"It means a lot to come back to the place that provided so much for me in my collegiate years," said Prasad. "Creating a positive environment and space for the student athletes to both excel academically and on the field is most important. I look forward to getting to know the group and starting the process."
The Falcons will open the 2023 PACWEST season on September 9. For more information, follow the Langara Falcons @langarafalcons on Twitter and Instagram.
