Camp Staff

Jon Lowery brought an extensive background to St. Thomas when he was named head coach in April 2012. It didn't take long for Lowery -- just the fourth head coach in UST program history -- to elevate the Tommies to new heights onto the MIAC and national scene, now leading the Tommies at the Division I level.

A Division III National Coach of the Year in 2016 and Region Coaching Staff of the Year inboth 2016 and 2017, Lowery has guided St. Thomas Men's Soccer's improvement from nine wins in 2014, to 12 in 2015, to a school-record 20 wins in 2016, to 22 victories in 2017.

The 2017 Tommies became just the fourth conference team in the last 27 seasons to post a 10-0 MIAC finish. Today, Lowery leads the only men’s division I soccer program in Minnesota and 2025 saw an unprecedented jump in the Tommies ascent into division I soccer, as the team posted a 7-5-5 season. Most notably the Tommies completed the season undefeated at home and had
multiple players earn All Summit League Honors.

While being a collegiate head coach for 16 years and a division one head coach for 5, Lowery has complimented his work with soccer camps for players of all levels to grow with the game. The summer of 2026 opens a new chapter for Tommie Soccer camps as we will return to campus and offer our first residential for summer campers.

An elite soccer player, Lowery competed at both the NCAA Division I college and professional levels. As an assistant coach he learned from some the finest D-I mentors, each
of whom is the all-time wins leader for their respective schools, working under Sam Koch at UMASS-Amherst, John Bluem at Ohio State, and Jay Vidovich at Wake Forest University. 

With a camp philosophy for each participant to feel valued and to learn and compete in a fun and safe environment empowering each player to learn the game, make lasting friendships and to grow as a person.
