Phil Schmidt has been named as the new head boys soccer coach at Fishers High
School.

Schmidt comes to Fishers after a successful twelve year run as the head boys
soccer coach at Avon High School. Schmidt compiled a record of 181-40-31 at Avon
along with four Hoosier Crossroads Conference championships, nine sectional
championships, five regional championships, two final fours and a state
runner-up finish in 2013. Prior to Avon, Schmidt was the head boys soccer coach at
Lutheran High School where he led the program for five seasons and compiled a
record of 40-38-8 along with sectional and regional titles in 1999. Schmidt also teaches
Business Education courses at Fishers High School.

“I am very excited to begin working with our players and to grow this program
into one our school and community will be proud of,” said Schmidt. “My vision
for the program is clear, we want to have a winning record every season,
compete for HCC championships and work towards the goal of regular long runs in
the state tournament. We will compete to be one of the top teams in the state year in
and year out. We will achieve those goals with great teamwork, a common mindset
and a winning culture. This will lead to sustained success and the development of a
tradition of excellence.”

“We are ecstatic to bring Coach Schmidt aboard as an educator and coach for Fishers
High School,” said Fishers athletic director Rob Seymour. “Coach Schmidt has proven
himself as a quality teacher and coach and we look forward to him guiding our Boys
Soccer program and adding value to our entire Athletic Department.”
