Head Varsity Coach - Dan Bushendorf
I have been the Kennedy High School Head Varsity Coach since 2009, but have more than 20 years of experience coaching at the club and high school levels. Our teams continue to improve and make us proud on and off the field. One of the things I am also very proud of is how we get a lot of interest from alumni who want to come back and work with the program as coaches and volunteers. When I'm not coaching, I enjoy traveling, especially if it includes a mountain biking adventure.

After playing in-house for a few years I moved to traveling soccer at BYSC from age 8 through high school. I played all 4 years in high school at Jefferson High School as a goalkeeper and outside midfielder. During college I began coaching in the Rochester in-house program as a community service requirement for a class I was taking at Luther College. Since then, I have coached at Bloomington United, Dakota REV, and St. Paul Blackhawks at the club level. I joined the JFK staff in the fall of 2010. I hold a National D Coaching License. Go Eagles!

I love coaching and working with young athletes. I look forward to coaching soccer at Kennedy and the opportunity to continue to be around the sport that fascinates me to this day.

As Kennedy soccer alumni, I have enjoyed watching the growth of the program since I graduated from Kennedy in 2008. I have coached the B-Squad team for three years, Junior Varsity for one year, and I also help out on Varsity as an assistant. I have been the Varsity Quality Control Coach since 2020. I am excited for the upcoming season. As always, it's a great day to be an Eagle !!!!
