Tony was a longtime park district coach and founded Urbana United in 2013 as a lower-cost, lower-travel alternative for children in the Urbana, Ill., area who wanted more than just rec league experience.
Holder of U.S. Soccer Federation F and E licenses, Tony has taken on a more administrative role for an ever-expanding club, but he still fills in for coaches at all levels at matches and practices, and he continues to coach teams in tournaments as well.
"I founded U2 for kids who are a bit more serious about playing soccer," Tony says. "We wanted to get the extra touches on the ball for kids who are enthusiastic about soccer and want to further their athletic careers, even at the high school level."
U2 founders Tony and Andy wanted to create an opportunity for those kids who were looking to build a little extra soccer into their foundation. They continue to build on that program, along with the volunteers of the Board, providing positive experiences for our players as they develop into better athletes on the field, and responsible members of our community.
