Coach Kevin Fitzsimmons

Boys Varsity Soccer Head Coach Kevin Fitzsimmons, a native of Liverpool U.K., started his coaching career at Manchester United Football Club.  

Kevin's professional coaching career spans 30 years and multiple continents.  Before arriving in the US in 2004, Kevin worked with the U18 national team of Thailand.  During his nearly 20 years of coaching in the United States, he has coached at every level including college, club, high school, and youth, garnering numerous coaching awards. His high school team won three conference finals, six division championships, one conference runner up, and one state cup runner-up, the most successful period in the school's 50-year history.

“Like all young budding soccer enthusiasts I dreamt of one day becoming a professional soccer player,” says Coach Fitzsimmons.  “Although that never materialized, I do believe coaching has given me the next best thing and more.  I always had a passion for soccer, and from coaching, I have found a deeper love and understanding of the game.  Connecting and transforming young people's lives through the experiences of playing soccer, being part of a team, and self-sacrifice for the bigger objective has really transformed my thinking, aspirations, and focus.”

“Kent’s soccer program has a rich history of team and player success. To be given the chance to try and continue the legacy of this great school and program is such an honor.” 

“Kent soccer is renowned throughout the boarding school world but our goal now is to set new standards so the bar will be raised even higher, whether that's on the pitch, in the classroom, or in everyday life.”

Kevin is also an Associate Director of Admissions for Kent School and he and his wife, Giesele have two children Kieran and Greta.
