We are honored to share a very special opportunity with our Cleburne Soccer community. This spring, through the Kyle Hicks Memorial Fund, five of our outstanding coaches will be recognized for their hard work, servant leadership, and impact on players’ lives.

Mr. and Mrs. Hicks created the foundation in memory of their son, Kyle Hicks. Kyle lived a life marked by kindness, dedication, and service to others. He became a police officer at the age of 30 and, in April 2024, gave the ultimate sacrifice while protecting others. Even in passing, Kyle continued his legacy of service by saving five lives through organ donation.

In his honor, the Hicks family established the Kyle Hicks Memorial Fund with a mission to promote kindness and a strong work ethic.

Why This Matters

The Kyle Hicks Memorial Fund is partnering with Cleburne Soccer to recognize 5 outstanding coaches. We recognize the importance of coaches and believe they are pillars in the community. Their role is to teach, support, encourage, motivate, and make playing soccer fun, engaging, and inviting. Tell us how awesome your coach is.
