Home / Featured /Podcasts-Drills / Podcast: Brandon Childs 2 York

York College head coach Brandon Childs (one of the most creative coaches in my library!) just completed his fifth season at the helm of the Green and White. This season (2016) he led York to a 18-4 record, including a victory over Salisbury, no easy feat in and of itself, and a great run in the NCAA DIII bracket. This is actually my second podcast with this great coach, I love learning from him and you will too.

In 2014, Childs led the Spartans to a school-record 16 wins as York earned a share of the Conference regular season title and the second seed in the CAC tournament. The Spartans made their first appearance in the CAC title game and received a Pool C (at-large) birth to the NCAA Tournament, also a program first. The Spartans advanced to the round of 16 in their first year in the tournament. For his efforts, Childs was named CAC Coach of the year and was one of five finalists for the USILA National Coach of The Year.

The Spartans are 66-29 in Childs’ five seasons at the helm of the program and his career record now sits at 94-48.

Childs, the fourth coach in program history, has had a strong run of success during his coaching career. While at Eastern University, he posted an overall record of 28-19 including a 23-9 mark in conference play. Childs led the Eagles to a trio of MAC tournament appearances.

Prior to taking over the Eastern program, Childs was a three-year assistant at Dickinson College where he directed the Red Devil offense. Dickinson went 27-16 over his three years in Carlisle.

Childs began his coaching career after a stellar four-year tenure as a player at Lynchburg College. He concluded his career with 193 points on 91 goals and 102 assists. His 102 assists, still stands as a school record for Lynchburg. He was a USILA All-American as a junior and again as a senior while he was also a Scholar All-American as a senior. Childs was a three-time ODAC All-Conference player for the Hornets.

At the conclusion of his playing career, Childs served as an assistant coach for the Hornet program as he pursued his Masters’ Degree in Educational Leadership. He completed his advanced degree in May of 2008.

In the fall of 2012, Childs assumed the role of York College S.A.A.C Supervisor. He coordinates and organizes York’s Student Athlete Advisory Counsel activities throughout the school year including the Spartans’ relationship with the York County Special Olympics program.

Childs resides in York with his wife, Annie, and his children, Ellie (5) Will (3) and Abel (2).
