Head Coach

Coach Hinkley
begins his second season as head coach for Schreiner
Women's Soccer this fall. He was hired in
January of 2008, so this fall also marks his
first full recruiting class - and it will be a
large one. Although SU struggled in the
wins column last, it was evident to anyone
watching the Mountaineers last fall, that the
team was much more competitive and that he was
making an impact on the program. For that
reason alone, there is great optimism for the
2009 season.
Prior to taking the SU job, Coach Hinkley had
just entered his third year as the head coach
for the Boerne (TX) High School Girls Soccer
team. After two complete seasons under his
guidance, he built the Boerne Greyhounds into a
state championship contender this year.
His 2006 team was Bi-District champions and an
Area Finalist in Region IV of the Texas 4A State
High School Championships. He was one of
only three coaches (out of 120) to be nominated
for Region IV Coach of the Year. His two
year record is 23-13-3 (17-6-3 in the district)
and that year's team was considered to be one of
the best in the state at the time of his
departure.
Prior to being named as the Greyhounds' coach,
Hinkley built the Bandera (TX) High School Girls
Soccer team from the ground up during his two
years as head coach and turned it into a solid,
successful program.
Coach Hinkley has 30 years of playing and
coaching experience. He was originally
signed to an athletic scholarship out of high
school to attend NCAA Division II powerhouse
Florida Southern in Lakeland, FL. A major
injury prematurely shortened his freshman season
and career. Once his injury had
sufficiently healed, he turned his talents to
the semi-pro level and eventually had a brief
career with the Detroit Rockers of the NPSL.
During that time, he again suffered major
injuries while on the pitch and his playing
career was effectively ended.
He returned to college and attended Schreiner
from 2000-03 where he was a standout student and
earned his bachelors degree in History in 2003.
He has nearly completed coursework for his
Masters degree. In 2007, he earned his
NSCAA Advanced National Diploma. He is
married to Sheridan Sloan, and they have a son,
Bryce. Wayne, Sheridan and Bryce live in
Pipe Creek. |
