FC Evolution is pleased to announce our partnership with Mighty Kicks NEO. Mighty Kicks NEO was founded by Owner and Director Jim Linaburg in March of 2015. Their initial focus was working with local preschools and child care centers offering specialized soccer enrichment classes for students between the ages of 3-6 years old. After partnering with over 20 centers in Northeast Ohio, working with more than 500 children per season, they discovered a demand for a quality youth soccer program outside of the enrichment class.
“We have always taken great pride in providing a program for players of all ages and skill levels to continue their journey in growth and development” said Coach Jim. “We have players and parents that love our programming, our coaches, and our philosophy. From the start, we have always tried to offer options to every player that wanted to be a part of the Mighty Kicks family.”
To continue their quest of creating programming for players of all ages and skill set, Mighty Kicks has partnered with FC Evolution. Coach Jim says “We are one of the best in the area at creating a lasting passion for the game while instilling proper technique and philosophies, even at a young age. We know that some players will be happy playing for fun and staying social with friends, but we also have players that want to start at the varsity high school level and even play collegiate soccer. Partnering with FC Evolution was the right choice for us in regards to having a place for our players to continue their pathway as they get older.”
FC Evolution provides opportunities for players to play in the top leagues in the nation for both boys and girls. We also know that Mighty Kicks will provide a quality program for FC Evolution while working with their 3-8 year old players, preparing them to one day play in those top leagues. A club is only as good as their youth program and this is going to take Mighty Kicks and FC Evolution to a new level for our players, parents, and coaches.
We are proud to announce that “Mighty Kicks NEO will be the face of FC Evolution’s youth programming, developing players at the Micro - U8 level” said Steve Davis, FC Evolution Director of Operations. Upon graduating from Mighty Kicks, players will continue on to FC Evolution programming. This partnership will allow both organizations the opportunity to combine resources such as players, staff, and curriculum. Together, FC Evolution and Mighty Kicks will be able to continue their mission of providing a quality youth soccer program, for players of all ages and skill, an opportunity to learn and grow in the beautiful game of soccer.
