Our team started out small, and we continue to grow our players and new coaches! We recently added an Assistant Coach to our U10 team, and a volunteer parent coach for practices and sideline assistance.
If you’re interested in coaching on of our Fall 2024 teams, please reach out to us as we continue to grow the club with new players in various age groups!
About Zach:
With four seasons of experience coaching youth soccer, and a US Soccer Coaching License, Coach Hunsinger is dedicated to creating a positive and enriching experience for children. His focus is on fun, healthy competition, and good sportsmanship. Zach brings a wealth of knowledge and a deep passion for the game.
Beyond soccer, he is also an Ironman triathlete who qualified for the World Championships and who prioritizes health and wellness. His commitment to personal fitness and well-being serves as an inspiration to our young athletes, emphasizing the importance of leading a healthy and active lifestyle.

Through carefully designed drills and interactive activities, Coach Hunsinger creates an environment where kids thrive, build confidence, and develop a love for the game. Our program encourages healthy competition, teaching kids the value of hard work, determination, and teamwork. Good sportsmanship is a core value, promoting respect and fair play.
About Carver:
The game of soccer has always been a major part of Coach Shipman’s life. Carver has participated as a player, official, and more recently a coach starting in 2021 for Webster Groves SC before joining St Louis CITY SC for the birth of the CITY Futures Program.
Carver holds his formal Coaching Education through US Soccer and most recently acquired the C Coaching License, and will pursue the B License in 2025. He has been coaching Bayless High School since 2022 in JV Head Coach and Varsity Assistant Coach roles, and recently achieved the best record Bayless has seen in several years.
The two main priorities Carver asks of all of his players are effort and a good attitude. “I strive to create an environment where everyone feels welcome and encouraged to want to come to training to enjoy and invest themselves into a program. I always look forward to building relationships with the players and others involved in a program so we can all be part of leaving the game in a better place than where we found it.”
