Jordan “Jordy” Gray, a standout youth soccer player and student-athlete, is giving back to the community by launching the Super Kickers Soccer Clinic, a free soccer experience designed to inspire and develop young athletes ages 5–12.The <a href="https://my.cheddarup.com/c/sports-camps-registration-payments-71379/items" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">clinic</a> will be held this Friday, June 5, at Hubert Soccer Park in Acworth.
Hosted through Super Kickers FC, the clinic will feature hands-on instruction from Gray and several elite MLS NEXT players from across the region. Participants will enjoy skills training, dribbling and juggling instruction, small-sided matches, striker scoring drills, and fun soccer challenges designed to build confidence and foster a love for the game.
“As the FIFA World Cup 2026™ excitement continues to grow in Atlanta, we want kids throughout the metro area who may not have had the opportunity to try soccer or want to learn more about soccer to experience the joy and opportunities soccer can bring,” said Gray, founder of Super Kickers FC. “This is about more than soccer. It’s about confidence, teamwork, leadership, fellowship, health, and inspiring the next generation.”
Gray has played soccer for more than 12 years and currently starts for the Southern Soccer Academy U17 MLS NEXT team based in Marietta. He is also a certified recreation coach and trainer, a licensed U.S. Soccer referee, and a student at Mount Paran Christian School (Learn more about Gray, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jordan_gray2027/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">here</a>)
Super Kickers FC was created by Gray as a community-centered initiative focused on using soccer as a positive outlet for youth development and mentorship.
The clinic is free to attend, though registration is required due to limited space.
