Alan Biggs, Head Coach, Lighthouse Christian Academy Golf, began in March 2024. Began as coach by asking Mr. Judge if we had a golf team; he replied; we can if we have an interest and a coach! Have greatly enjoyed playing and teaching golf to beginners as a lifelong passion; and last year achieved lows of a 4 handicap, and carding my first subpar round of golf. More importantly, have helped now double figure Lighthouse students improve their ability and love for the game. A Bible verse I've read that encourages my love of service is Philippian's 2:3-4: "Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit...Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others."

Hi! My name is Olivia Blackketter, and I have the opportunity to serve as the Middle School Girls Volleyball Coach. This will be my second year as head coach, and I’m super excited to continue building foundational skills with these athletes. As crazy as it sounds, I love the energy that these middle schoolers bring and their willingness to try new things. These girls remind me of why I fell in love with volleyball and the gift that it is to be on a team. I started playing volleyball when I was 8 years old and had the privilege to play in college at Winthrop University and Valparaiso University. I never expected to be a coach, but the Lord truly has a plan, and I am so grateful. Lighthouse’s community is unmatched, and it is exciting to be a part of it! “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you and help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10

I am entering my eighth year as the Varsity Girls Basketball Coach and my fourth year coaching Girls Volleyball. Coaching provides a meaningful opportunity to build relationships with student-athletes while using athletics as an outreach to demonstrate God’s love. My goal is to help each player grow not only in skill and character, but also in their faith and personal walk with Christ. I earned my degree in Sports Management from Indiana University, and I have spent several years as an IHSAA-licensed official. This experience has significantly shaped my understanding of the games and strengthened my approach to teaching, leadership, and sportsmanship. My coaching philosophy is rooted in my favorite Bible verse, 1 Timothy 4:12, which encourages young people to “set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity” (KJV)

I started coaching at LCA in 2026. I played high school basketball at North Daviess High School for 4 years where I finished 2nd All Time Leading Scorer in the girls program with 1,019 points. After graduating I went out to the University of Maine at Augusta and played college basketball for a bit. A bible verse that keeps me motivated is John 15:12 because it reminds us that we all need to love each other as much as our Lord does!
