Over the weekend, Kent Roosevelt JV coach Larry Picicco announced that he was stepping down from the position. Coach Picicco had been with the program for over a decade, including a short stint as head coach. Players, parents, and opposing coaches all respected and admired his dedication to his athletes and the program. We would like to offer congratulations to Larry Picicco on an amazing run at Kent Roosevelt. Below is a tribute from the Kent Roosevelt Girls Golf Facebook page.
A bittersweet week for the Lady Rider Golf program. On Monday, Assistant Varsity Coach Larry Picicco announced that he would be retiring from the program after 13 years of coaching. Coach Picicco was one of the founders of this program and gave endless time and effort to ensure its success. We will miss his knowledge, energy and commitment to the team. However, what will be missed the most will be his caring demeanor and ability, to make easy, the difficult transition from middle school to high school for our players. Coach Picicco truly impacted the lives of so many players on our team, on our youth program, and in the golfing community. The picture attached to this post speaks volumes of the importance of relationships and family that make Coach Pic the incredible coach and friend we all love. Best Wishes Coach, you will be missed on the fairways!
