Such a talented player, and an even better young lady! Can't wait to coach Aliya for one last club season...it's been a fun ride! Come check her out this fall/winter @KCA08ECNLRL

[Aliya VanDonge @AliyaVanDonge]

I had a great high school season this year scoring 14 goals and assisting 11. My team and I improved lots and I received UKC first team all conference! Looking forward to club next!

Had fun catching up with some of my current & former players! Enjoyed watching my Cruzeiro girls (pic 1) lead @KHSGirlsSoccer4 to an NKC Invitational title. Also saw Hannah & Amaya (Oak Park), Rylee, Chloey, & Ella (Smithville), Tori (Blue Springs), & Mary, Linn, & Stone (PC).

Enjoyed finally catching a @sionstormsoccer game last night to see a couple more of my ECNL RL players - junior @noramiller33 of our 08s & frosh Gaby Perry of our 11s. Both played really well in a 3-0 win over Summit Christian. Keep it rolling, ladies! 😤 @KCA08ECNLRL

[Duke Jones @DukeJones71]

Just caught the tail end of the game, but always good to see two club teammates battle it out on the HS field, but still hug it out afterwards. @jones_layl16752 got round one over Anna, but the rematch awaits…@KCA08ECNLRL

Always great to see my 08s during their HS seasons! @AlexaRegas08 and @Ella_Flax each got an assist in ONW’s 3-1 win over BVN for 3rd place, while @EllieMoila77463 (with a great PK), Bella, Stella, and Weezy helped SME capture 1st place in the ONW Invitational. @KCA08ECNLRL

GAME DAY‼️

[Duke Jones @DukeJones71]

A header goal and 2 clutch PKs…not a bad start for @jones_layl16752 in North’s first two games. Especially in her first action since the broken leg with limited minutes off the bench. @KCA08ECNLRL

A junior (#5) hugging a senior in her last club game. These two spent many years together, competing, training, laughing, and yes, crying. As their coach, I’m just thankful I got to be part of their journey 😢🩷 @KCA08ECNLRL

[KC Athletics Soccer Club @AthleticsKC]

Some moments don’t need words.

They just need a shoulder. 

At KC Athletics, we’re more than teammates.
We’re a family.

We compete together.
We grow together.
We stand together.

[KC Athletics Soccer Club @AthleticsKC]

Premier 07/08 took the field one final time at the ECNL RL Florida Showcase — and what a way to close it out.

With no time left, Bella finished the moment after a perfectly timed assist from Josie to tie it 1–1 — a wild ending for a truly special group!

[Duke Jones @DukeJones71]

I’ve been extremely privileged to coach this fantastic group of young ladies for the past 5 years. Even with the inevitable changes, the core was strong. Champions, on and off the field. Gonna really miss our seniors…but it’s been an awesome ride! 🩷

[KC Athletics Academy Premier 08 ECNL RL @KCA08ECNLRL]

Cool edit from this weekends Florida Showcase. The girls showed out for their final games together!

One final game for this special group of young ladies. It’s been a fun ride…let’s go! 😤

[KC Athletics Academy Premier 08 ECNL RL @KCA08ECNLRL]

Let's finish strong - Last Florida Showcase game!
