Bio
Kennie was born and raised in Scotland and soccer has always played a big part in his life; he’s played the game competitively at various levels – club and school, he joins DME with over 10-years coaching experience, and as a father of 4-boys himself, who all love soccer and play competitively, 3 of his boys are part of the DME family.
Coach Kennie shares that soccer is an amazing enabler for everyone to learn, grow and develop, not only your soccer game, but values and principles to carry with you always.
“Some of my most amazing memories and life-lessons have happened at the football pitch, and I’m motivated and inspired to support others in their journey. We practice for progress and play to compete, we do so with humility, grit, a passion and love for the game and respect for each other, on and off the field.”
