Kaig Lightner

Founder & executive Director

I earned my USSF National ‘C’ Coaching License in 2003, but I’ve been coaching and working with youth for about 25 years. I grew up in Redmond, WA and began playing soccer at the age of eight along with basketball, softball and volleyball.

Carolina hernandez Morales

Program Director

My name is Carolina Hernandez I am from a place in southern Mexico called Chiapas. My family and I migrated there when I was just 5 years old. I got into soccer when I was in middle school because it kept me busy and out of trouble. I was more of a tomboy then so I liked rough sports like baseball and Taekwondo. As I grew up I watched a lot of sports but the main one was baseball since my dad played baseball so that was our family pass of time.
