Tournament Dedicated to Bob Fowler
 This
tournament is dedicated to the memory of Bob
Fowler--coach, teacher and friend to many soccer
players and participants at all levels in the
Bay Area. Bob died only two days after realizing
a long-time goal of serving as a head coach on
the collegiate level. He had officially been
named head coach at Los Medanos College and was
preparing for the upcoming season at the time of
his death.
Bob played high school soccer in his native
Pennsylvania, then continued his career at
Pembroke State University in North Carolina. He
was twice named Pembroke team captain and twice
elected team most valuable player. He was also a
two-time all-league selection. Bob graduated
from Pembroke with a degree in special and
physical education.
He brought his interest in soccer to the West
Coast when he moved to Pleasant Hill. Bob served
as head coach at Miramonte High School in
Orinda, as assistant at Los Medanos College and
as head coach for an Olympic Development Program
team. He earned his USSF "B" license and served
for two years as chief coach for Diablo Valley
Soccer Club.
Bob strongly believed that soccer could and
should be enjoyed by as many people as possible.
He was a strong proponent of women`s soccer and
was instrumental in initiating the women`s
program at Diablo Valley College. At the time of
his death, Bob was coaching the DVSC Magic Under
19 girls team. He also continued as a player on
adult teams while returning to school to earn a
Master`s Degree in physical education
administration from St. Mary`s College. In
addition, Bob was Carondelet High School head
coach for the 1994-95 season.
Bob will always be remembered as a loving,
caring, supportive individual who was dedicated
to his family, to the game of soccer and to his
community.
January 23, 1952 - August 16, 1995
