Bio

Reece Scragg was named the sixth Eureka College women's soccer head coach on May 16, 2023. The 2026 season will be his fourth at the helm of the Red Devils.

In his first three seasons at Eureka, Scragg has steadily grown the program. The Red Devils went 0-14-0 (0-9-0 SLIAC) in 2023, 2-12-1 (1-7-0 SLIAC) in 2024, and 4-10-2 (1-5-2 SLIAC) in 2025, marking the most wins in a season since 2021 and the third-fewest goals allowed in a single season (61).

Scragg comes to Eureka after three years as an assistant coach for both the women's and men's programs at NCAA Division III Olivet College in Olivet, Michigan.

At Olivet, Scragg was responsible for leading practice sessions and conditioning workouts, monitoring student-athletes' academic progress, evaluating and recruiting prospective players. He also organized and coordinated ID camps, filed in-depth scouting reports, and helped manage the program budget and fundraising activities.

A native of Wolverhampton, England, Scragg has over 15 years of coaching experience and he has had a unique journey within the sport that has taken him to three different countries.

He has been coaching since he was 16 years old, starting out coaching youth soccer in his community. When he was 18, he had his first international coaching experience at a series of summer camps in Ukraine. That led to Scragg moving to California a year later to join UK International Soccer, a coaching center that provides developmental programs for children of all ages and abilities.  

Scragg ran camps and coached youth teams up and down the west coast for three years before settling in as a boys' soccer varsity head coach in La Center, Washington.

After five years at the helm of the program, he became a head coach for the club team called the Washington Timbers in Vancouver, Washington, where he stayed for four years. He joined the Olivet coaching staff in 2020, and he has since helped the women's and men's programs steadily improve.

Scragg received his diploma in health sciences from Telford College in Telford, England, in 2010.
