After a trial with the U.S. Men’s National Team and years of summer coaching with Lundy, Brockman’s path led him to Glynn County. His coaching caught the eye of a local family while working at a soccer camp at Frederica Academy, and soon after, he was hired to lead the Glynn Academy boys team.

From that moment in 1994, he built a dynasty. Over 31 seasons, Coach Brockman earned more than 450 career wins, 17 region championships, three Final Four appearances, and a staggering 28 state playoff appearances in 30 years. His teams didn’t just win — they embodied hard work, discipline, and belief in something bigger than themselves.

But Coach Brockman’s impact stretches far beyond the win column. He mentored generations of players, many of whom went on to play college soccer, coach their own teams, or even name their children after him. One of his former players, Lee Swafford — now a youth program director — named his son “Brockman” and considers Bobby a lifelong mentor and godfather to his oldest son. “He has something about him,” Swafford said. “He gets the best out of people.”

Brockman’s style was always passionate and demanding, especially in the early days. Known for pushing his players to their physical and mental limits, he instilled a sense of excellence that became synonymous with Red Terrors soccer. “He was competitive because he could still play,” said Swafford. “When your coach can back it up, it makes you want to work harder.”

As he steps away from the sideline, Coach Brockman leaves behind more than trophies and records. He leaves a legacy of mentorship, resilience, and excellence. He inspired kids to believe in themselves, demanded the best from his players, and showed what it means to build something that lasts.

From the camps at Frederica to packed Friday nights "Between the Bricks," Coach Bobby Brockman didn’t just coach soccer. He shaped a community, built a family, and left a mark that will be felt for generations.
