Kaden Lewis
I am a Kansas City native. I have played for ODP at the State level and competed Internationally; that led to relocating to San Diego, California as I seized the opportunities I was offered for advancement. I have competed for San Diego Surf, Albion San Diego, & City S.C. As I continue to play soccer competitively, I want to bring what I have learned forward to others and be part of their developmental journey. As an owner of Refine Soccer Training, we can provide data analytics and elite level training that allows us to optimize and evaluate each training session. The idea is to identify your desired goals and to work together to create specific training plans for individuals at any age and any level to then take action in our versatile and progressive training environments.

During his time there he was award Conference Freshman of the year honors, and won multiple Conference Championships. In 2003 Chris started to call Kansas City home. During his 21 years in Kansas City he has founded and ran multiple Clubs, and has earned the reputation of one of the top Coaches within the region. Chris's commitment to individual development, even within the team setting has been impressive. Over the last 5 years he has helped over 20 players take the next step and join the SKC Academy, and has worked with nearly a dozen players that have earned call ups the the US National Youth team camps and US Youth Futsal National Teams. Chris has a very detailed approach, and has the ability to make sure sessions are relatable, so learning is transferable. He is very big on the thinking part of the game, and challenges players when it comes to decision making during sessions and games. Chris is married to his wife, Marquelle, and has 4 kids, Jack, Liam, Finn and Isla. If he is not running sessions or at games he is probably following his kids around supporting them. Forgot to put that I hold USSF B and USSF Director of Coaching Licenses if that matters. Also a Scouting Diploma from United Soccer Coaches.
Coach
Andre Dieguez
As a coach, while I'm dedicated to guiding aspiring athletes, my own playing career is far from over. I continue to compete in the semi-professional leagues in San Diego, California, where I apply the very principles I instill in my players – dedication, hard work, and passion for the game. as a coach, I'm committed to passing on this knowledge and instilling in my players the same level of dedication and determination that has defined my journey. This dual role allows me to bridge the gap between playing and coaching, providing a unique perspective that benefits both myself and those I mentor. It's a journey that combines the thrill of competition with the joy of nurturing the next generation of athletes.
