Alister Newby

Alister Newby will enter his 2nd season at the helm of the Men's Soccer program in the Fall of 2024.


In his 1st season leading the program, Newby's 2023 team posted a 4-11-2 record, with a 1-6 record in MIAA play. Alma saw massive improvement from the year before. The Scots scored 26 goals, a 14 goal improvement from the 8 that Alma scored in 2022. The Scots had 11 different goal scorers, the first time that the program has seen that number of scorers since 2015, and Alma scored 5 or more goals in a game twice, also the first time since 2015.


Newby joined Alma from Wabash College, where he served as the Assistant Coach, and worked with the Goalkeepers.


Newby had spent the last 3 seasons at Wabash College as an Assistant Coach. He worked with goalkeepers, recruited, and handled a large part of the operations and travel for the program. At the same time, he also worked at the club level with Boilers FC. There, he has served as the Director of Coaching since 2016. He was responsible for scheduling team training, games, and camps. He also worked with individual teams and goalkeepers. To add to his coaching credentials, he served as the Assistant Goalkeeping Director for the Indiana Soccer Olympic Development Programme.


Originally from England, Newby spent 4 years working with Accrington Stanley, a professional side. They currently play in League One, the third tier of the English football system. During his time with the club, he spent time as an administrator and a coach. He primarily worked with the academy players, and was also in charge of recruiting 15-17 year old players into the academy team.


Newby holds a USSF B Coaching License, a United Soccer Coaches Goalkeeping Diploma Level 2, an FA Level 2 Qualification in Coaching Football, and an FA Level 2 Goalkeeping Qualification.


A native of Preston, England, Newby earned his Bachelor's Degree in Sports Coaching from University of Central Lancashire in 2010, and earned his Master's Degree in Sports Coaching from University of Central Lancashire in 2013.

Showcase Tips

Are you ready for your next college showcase?
I have had a profile on SINC Soccer for 4 years, and it helped me to organize my information so that I was ready when the recruiting process started. I had selected some schools using your site when I was 13 and that helped to start the conversation with those schools and find out about their ID camps, and when UNC made an offer I was prepared.
