The Board of Directors of Tennessee Soccer Club announced the appointment of Stuart Brown to the position of Executive Director, now accountable for managing all business operations for the youth select soccer club.

Brown will report to the Board of Directors.  Selected as Executive Director of Coaches in June of 2014, Brown has led the soccer staff through reorganization and reallocation of staff duties in each of three age groups – Academy, Pre-high school, and High-school.  Prior to joining Tennessee Soccer Club, Brown held various coaching positions,including 8 years as collegiate head men’s coach and management positions with Capital Area Soccer League in Raleigh, NC, as well as similar roles at youth clubs in Charlotte and Gastonia, NC.  A graduate of Brevard College in North Carolina, Brown holds a Bachelor of Arts in Business Management and Organizational Leadership and several coaching licenses including the USSF “A” License, NSCAA Premier Diploma, and Director of Coaching Diploma.

David Kraus, Board President, stated, “We didn’t really expect to end up here a year ago when we selected Stuart from a number of quality candidates.  Frankly, we had a different structure in mind.  He has proven to be much more than expected and has earned this opportunity by his effort since coming onboard.  Stuart has embraced and promoted our culture, developed a passion for our community, and delivered on the strategic vision of the club.  It’s a natural move for us at this time.”

 “This is a challenge that I am ready to meet.  I have a great staff, among the best in the country in my opinion, and we continue to build on our own momentum around fulfilling the club’s vision, improving player development, and delivering on a better member experience.  The membership has been a pleasure to get to know and serve, and I am convinced that joining Tennessee SC has been a great choice for my family.”

 Tennessee Soccer Club, a 501©3 corporation, was formed by the 2012 merger of TNFC (Tennessee Futbol Club) and BWSC (Brentwood Soccer Club).  Since the merger, the club has posted 25 TSSA state championships, including both boys and girls in multiple divisions.  The Club is averaging 40 athletic scholarship awards within its U17-U18 player pool annually.  Recently, Tennessee Soccer Club announced it had partnered with the USL to place teams in the Super Y Leagues, providing summer training and game play, culminating in a chance to compete for a National Championship.  In addition to delivering quality coaching and soccer skills development, the Club membership routinely raises funds or donates sports equipment to charities, including $2363.90 to the Tennessee Breast Cancer Coalition in 2014.  Tennessee Soccer Club currently has open registration for Team Selection beginning in May.  Please visit www.tennesseesoccerclub.org to learn more.
