J.D. Kyzer, Centre Director

Coach Kyzer has been actively involved in coaching his entire professional career, spanning morethan 25 years. He has coached on many different levels including, youth and high school teams, men’s and women’s collegiate teams, and professional teams. As a player at the University of South Carolina at Spartanburg he and his teammates were ranked #1 in the nation and finished 3rd in the National Championship with a record of 21-1-1.

Coach Kyzer came to Chattanooga from Queens College where his team reigned in the Carolina- Virginia Athletic Conference losing only two games in three years and posting 29 shutouts. His teams at Chattanooga have broken records for single season wins, most conference wins, and shutouts. The Mocs have also been to the semi-finals of the SoCon Tournament.

He holds an Advanced National License and devotes his entire summer to the advancement of American soccer.

All staff are picked to meet the needs of the campers. Our college players and coaches are evaluated each year to ensure the quality of Kyzer’s Soccer Centre. While the staff is led by J.D. Kyzer, Head Soccer Coach at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, the campers will also be exposed and coached by several college soccer players that serve as camp counselors and coaches throughout the course of the week. Each team will get a college head coach for their time at the team camp.
