Nick Chetta, who has led the Northlake Christian Wolverines for more than two decades, announced that he will step down from his dual roles as head soccer coach and athletic director at the end of the recent season.
His tenure culminated in a fourth state championship, a 20‑4‑3 record and a 15‑match unbeaten streak in the postseason, underscoring a period of sustained excellence for the program.
Chetta said the decision was driven by a desire to spend more time with his wife Keri and their four children, a factor that has become increasingly central to his personal priorities.
In a move that signals a shift toward a more holistic educational focus, he will assume the position of Associate Head of School, a role that will let him influence policy and culture beyond the soccer field.
The school community will see a familiar face take the reins of the boys’ program: assistant coach and alumnus Mason Morise is slated to succeed Chetta, while Hannah Duckworth will step into the athletic director role vacated by him.
A Legacy That Extends Beyond the Pitch
Over 550 career wins, a winning percentage that ranks among the nation’s best, and a reputation for developing student‑athletes on and off the field — Chetta’s imprint on Northlake Christian isindelibly etched into the school’s identity.
Colleagues and former players alike praise his mentorship, noting that his blend of strategic acumen and personal investment has set a benchmark for coaches across Louisiana.
