Dr. Morris Kuhlmann has been called the "Father of Denison Soccer" and has developed the soccer program in Denison. Thanks to Dr. Kuhlmann, the soccer program, started in 1977, has grown from a program involving second, third, and fourth grade girls to a program for both boys and girls from kindergarten through the senior year in high school. "Ike" has also worked to improve the soccer facilities and soccer equipment available to the young people in the community. He was the driving force behind the Northside Rec project in the mid-90's. In 1995 he got the British Soccer Camp to come to Denison. Since then they (the British Soccer Camp) have brought up to 10 instructors for the week-long camp. Dr. Kuhlmann has worked tirelessly to bring the sport of soccer to Denison.
