Meet the FCSSC Team

 

Kyla (she/her): Founder

Kyla founded FCSSC in August of 2009 after moving to London from Ottawa, where she played football with the Ottawa Sport & Social Club (OSSC, founded by a dear friend). She created FCSSC so that she could enjoy the fun, friends, and community connection that are at the core of club life. From 3 sports and 200 players in the first season, to over 40 leagues and 4000 players a season now, FCSSC is a wonderful example of, "if you build it, they will come." Kyla will be forever grateful to the city of London, and all of the amazing people who have played with FCSSC over the years, for making play her life's work.

 

Dave (he/they): Director

Dave joined the club in 2022 after 12 years at the YMCA working in Aquatics, Outdoor Education, Youth Engagement and overseeing fitness facilities. He led staff teams large and small in trying to provide great options for healthy living to communities across Southwestern Ontario. He has a passion for the outdoors, sports and anything he can do with his two dogs Charlie and Jimmy. Dave is a committed lifelong learner demonstrated by an addiction to school (he has Masters degrees in both Education and Business Administration) and volunteer roles as a board director with both Humana Community Services and Ronald McDonald House Charities. Dave got into adult leagues by co-founding Summit Sports last year to bring competitive volleyball back to London (despite being a mediocre volleyball player).

Dave currently plays Ultimate and Volleyball and is trying to visit every National Park in Canada. He is very excited about the Social in Sport and Social and to be starting a new adventure in the Forest City.
