ALLEXUS BARNES

PLAYING EXPERIENCE 

I’ve played soccer since I was four and my first try out for a travel team was in 2009, I was ten years old and so nervous. I made the team and played for TASC throughout my travel years. 2014 through 2017 I played for Thornapple Kellogg in the spring, TASC in the fall, and Alliance in the summers. My soccer journey continued in college, where I played for Lawrence Tech in the NAIA division from 2017 to 2021. 

COACHING EXPERIENCE & CERTIFICATIONS

In 2015 I coached AYSO U11 girls growing with them two years through their U13 season. In the years 2018 to 2021 I coached for the Jags, working several seasonal camps as well as technical training sessions. In the Spring of 2023 I was an assistant coach for our West Michigan Galaxy 2012 girls grey team.

ABOUT ME

I am a West Michigan native and happy to be back in the area after living in Detroit for six years. I enjoy any activities that allow me to be outdoors and love coaching as I see it as an opportunity to be a mentor for young players and share my experience and knowledge of the game.
