Burlington – Camden – Gloucester Counties

Ron brings his passion for soccer and helping young children to the Southern New Jersey (Burlington, Camden and Gloucester Counties) Territory with the wildly popular Mighty Kicks Mobile Soccer Program for Youngsters. Born and raised in Southeastern Pennsylvania, now residing in Medford, NJ with his wife (Veronica, married 1993) and their children (Ryan, Julianna, and Luke). Ron grew up playing soccer in the 1970’s when youth soccer was just beginning to take shape in the United States. Ron’s talents earned him numerous accolades as a youth soccer player in Southeastern PA. In High School, Ron had an extremely successful 4- year Varsity Soccer Letter-winning career, culminating in an appointment to the Regional-All American Team for the Philly Metro Area. Ron chose to stay fairly local and continue his soccer career at the University of Delaware and was a 4 year starter and Co-Captain in his senior season.

Upon graduating from Delaware, Ron became the Archbishop Carroll High School Varsity Assistant/JV Head Coach under renowned player and coach, Alexandre Ely (former teammate of Pele’ at famed Brazilian Soccer Club, Santos). During his time under Ely, Ron was asked to play semi-professionally in Philadelphia for the America Kolping Soccer Club, founded and coached by Ely. Ron currently holds a United States Soccer Federation F License and has gained valuable experience over the last 15 years coaching and training the youth of the Medford Soccer Club in Medford, NJ. Since his children have grown up, he now strives to enrich the overall health and development of young children exposing them to “the beautiful game” through the Mighty Kicks Mobile Soccer Program.

A Southern New Jersey native (now residing in Medford, NJ with his wife Stacey and their three boys, Owen, Charlie and Andrew), Jason brings his love for the game to Mighty Kicks. He received “All-South Jersey 1st Team” at Haddon Township HS and was a starter and captain at Susquehanna University. After graduation, Jason decided to pursue coaching.

He also has been on the Medford Soccer Club board since 2009, leads the recreation program, runs a summer soccer camp and manages 65+ local coaches/coordinators.

Since 2008, Jason has also been very actively involved with the YMCA, specifically serving Camp Ockanickon’s (Financial Development Committee, Co-Chair of the Camp Ockanickon “Strong Kids Campaign” Golf Outing, and the Strategic Planning Committee). Jason seeks to add value to his community through Mighty Kicks; he states, “This program marries two of my passions; soccer and enriching the lives of young children, exposing them to opportunities that they may not otherwise get exposure to.”
