In Episode 23 of #Onthetouchline, Jason Broadwater @SoccerCoachJB talks to Chris Kessell, @TheChrisKessell. “Black kids in my neighborhood don’t play soccer.” That is the thinking Chris Kessell has encountered throughout his career. Kessell is the president and a coach at West Side Soccer Club in Charleston, WV and works with primarily under-served and under-represented communities – mostly African American, rural, and low-income. Chris Kessell wants each of his players to make soccer a lifelong activity. Black, white, Hispanic doesn’t matter. Soccer isn’t just for some – it is for all. He helped lead the creation of a futsal court to start a futsal meet up program on Friday’s in the Charleston community. He is bringing soccer to youth players who may have never touched a soccer ball before. It is no secret – I am drawn to passionate, all-in coaches. Chris Kessell cares deeply about soccer in the United States and soccer within the state of West Virginia. He has been an outspoken critic of the United States Soccer Federation. He has been an advocate for promotion/relegation as a normal way of life for us as soccer fans here in the US. And, he ran for the US Soccer Federation Vice Presidency last fall.
