COVINGTON, KY (July 1st, 2022) – Over the last 3 years, Kings Hammer has grown to offer programs and events across the Midwest Region in Dayton, Cincinnati, and Central KY. In addition to the Midwest Region, Kings Hammer most recently partnered with Murfreesboro Soccer Club in Tennessee. This partnership will provide new opportunities in the the Mid-south region servicing Murfreesboro and Greater Nashville. With the growth and expansion of the club, important organizational updates have been made before the start of the 2022/2023 Season.
Executive Directors have been named for both the Midwest and Mid-south regions to effectively provide support and leadership needed to improve day to day operations management. Kings Hammer is excited to announce Paul Nicholson as the Midwest Executive Director and Serkan Örsan (Coach Turkish) as the Mid-south Executive Director. As Executive Directors, Paul and Serkan will lead their region’s daily operations and will develop strategies and plans that meet the club’s mission and values. They will oversee club structure, staffing, and operations. Having Executive Directors in each region will allow for a more efficient and effective way to operate all soccer programs as well as events in each region.
“I’m extremely excited and grateful for this opportunity. Kings Hammer has been able to build a complete player pathway in this Midwest Region and also offer some of the best tournaments available. Being able to work closely with both divisions is something that I am really looking forward to and I feel honored to work with some of the great staff and leaders here at Kings Hammer,” said Paul Nicholson.
“Kings Hammer has made an immediate impact in the Murfreesboro and Greater Nashville area since we entered into this partnership with MSC. I am excited to be tasked as the Executive Director for this region and have the opportunity to work closely with Paul Nicholson, Dave McIver and the other staff members at Kings Hammer. This structure will provide more support to our players, families and staff. We are building something very special here in Murfreesboro, and we look forward to welcoming teams from outside the region to come and play in our new event series starting fall 2022,” said Serkan Örsan.
In addition, Vince Gentile will be moving out of soccer operations in the current Midwest region. Vince will manage the Girls Academy South Program, helping Chris Black as his ECNL Assistant and will be continuing his role in the USL-W. Bobby Budde will operate as the Facilities Director for the entire Midwest Region and will work alongside Paul and the soccer/event staff on field usage, scheduling, facility/relationship management, equipment, etc. Dave McIver will continue to be the VP of Events for Kings Hammer, providing instruction and support for all Kings Hammer current and future regions relating to events and tournaments.
“Our goal has always been to strive to be the best youth soccer club that we can be while delivering our core values. Kings Hammer has been able to improve and grow based on the leadership and hard work of our employees across all programs and divisions. These new roles will allow us to provide countless players not only the opportunity to play but more importantly develop,” stated Kevin McCloskey, Kings Hammer COO.
