Dustin was unable to make the time commitment to both the Burlington Soccer Club and High Point jobs. We will greatly miss Dustin's energy and professionalism that helped shape Burlington Soccer Club for the past two and a half years. We wish him the best at High Point and his future endeavors.
Jason O'keefe brings the same type of professionalism as his predecessor and is very excited about getting involved with Burlington Soccer Club and helping in its continued growth and improvement.
O’Keefe came to Elon after serving as an assistant at the University of Cincinnati for the 2006 season,
O’Keefe helped the Bearcats to an 11-6-2 overall record and a Big East regular season title in 2006. Cincinnati also participated in the 2006 NCAA College Cup, falling to Northwestern University in the first round.

He spent the previous three seasons as an assistant coach at Greensboro College, his alma mater. During his time with the Pride, Greensboro captured three consecutive regular season and tournament titles and was ranked in the NCAA-III top-10 all three years. O’Keefe joined the Greensboro staff in 2000 when current Elon head coach Darren Powell hired him to his staff in his final year with the Pride.
