Milwaukee Kickers Soccer Club named Alvaro Garcia-Velez executive director, the club announced today.

Garcia-Velez, a Marquette University graduate, most recently served as president of Notre Dame Middle School in Milwaukee.

"Alvaro brings a wealth of non-profit management experience as well as a love of soccer to the Kickers," said Drew Dion, president of the board of the Kickers, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year.

"I am looking forward to expanding the club's profile in the community and hope to continue to build partnerships with local businesses," said Garcia-Velez.

The non-profit Milwaukee Kickers Soccer Club has almost 7,000 youth members between the ages of 6 and 19 on 600 teams, making it one of the Midwest's largest soccer clubs. The Kickers also field two adult amateur teams.
