Nicholas Kesler

Assistant Coach - 7th & 8th Grade Team

I’ve been passionate about soccer for as long as I can remember, first stepping on a field around the age of 5. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to play at different levels, with my most recent experience being in a men’s league. Soccer has always been a big part of my life, and I’ve continued to enjoy the game both as a player and as someone who loves being around the sport. Outside of soccer, I currently work in IT and am a proud dad of three young boys. Being a father has given me an even greater appreciation for the importance of teamwork, leadership, and helping young people develop both on and off the field.
