FOUNDER

STANLEY NYAZAMBA

​

Stanley Nyazamba, who was born and raised in Zimbabwe, relocated to the United States in 2003 to pursue a college soccer scholarship. He graduated from Lee University in Tennessee in 2008 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration. As both a Collegiate Soccer All American and an Academic All American, Stanley went on to play professionally for teams such as Columbus Crew (MLS), Richmond Kickers (USL), and FC Tampa Bay (NASL).

​

Stanley's journey into soccer began at the age of three, thanks to his older brother, Ray, whose introduction to the sport profoundly influenced Stanley's life. His passion for soccer never waned, and upon his arrival in the United States, he developed a keen interest in coaching youth soccer. For over 25 years, Stanley has positively impacted the lives of numerous young individuals through the sport. He established Kidz 'n' Kicks Soccer to foster a love for sports among youth in the U.S., promoting an active lifestyle from an early age. The values instilled in him by his culture and parents—respect, humility, listening, empathy, and caring—are also reinforced through Kidz 'n' Kicks.​​
