We are excited to announce John Lucero as our NEW Boys Academy Manager. With this new role, John will assume Boy’s Academy responsibilities for players U6-U10 and be the direct point of contact for coaches, managers, and current and prospective families. Operationally, the Academy space is pivotal to our long term success and we are thrilled to see what impact John will have. 

John will work closely with a soon-to-be-appointed Boy’s Pre-ECNL Director so we can clearly define the best pathway for all our players and teams. 

“We are thrilled to have John accept this position! It’s more special for me as John once played for me and was a captain on his team. To see him progress to the Coach and Man he is today fills me with pride. He will outwork anyone and bleeds the Blue of Sting. 

John is passionate about the sport and improving the game for the next generation. We have no doubt he will continue to enhance the development of our Boy’s Academy Programming but now on a greater scale“ – Tom Blencoe

I am very blessed to work for such a prestigious club and excited to accept this role in our boys academy program. We have not only a special academy on the boys side but strong leadership that has allowed me to develop as a coach and overall leader for my teams. I will continue to provide the most I can to help this club continue its destined growth, while providing to the best of my abilities, an environment for our players to continue their growth and development not only as players but as young men. I am fortunate to have many mentors like Tom who have helped me continue my growth as a coach and this next step will be an exciting one! – John Lucero
