James Madison women's soccer has brought back David Oakes to the sideline as a volunteer assistant coach, Head Coach Joshua Walters, Sr. announced Feb. 13, 2025. Oakes served as an undergraduate assistant coach for three years and graduated from JMU in 2023 with a degree in Sport and Recreation Management.
Oakes most recently wrapped up a two-year stint at Coastal Carolina as an assistant coach. In those two seasons, he helped turn the Chants around from a 3-12-2 season in 2023 to 8-7-6 in 2024 and a Sun Belt Tournament berth.
"It is incredible to get David back home to JMU," Walters said. "He did a tremendous job at Coastal Carolina helping turn that program around both in recruiting and coaching. We are thrilled he choose to join us after a stint earlier as an undergraduate assistant coach while earning his degree from JMU. Welcome home!"
In his first stint at JMU, Oakes oversaw daily coaching, specifically teaching positional play with midfielders. He also was the director of video analysis and led the search in both international and domestic recruiting.Â
He holds a US soccer grassroots license and is equipped with Wyscout and InStat program knowledge to assist with data and match analysis.
