Todd Hicks brings a wealth of soccer experience and knowledge to the Academy both as a player and coach. Todd began his soccer career very much like your own son or daughter in his hometown boys and girls club. His skill level and passion for the game accelerated him through the ranks of NCSL Division I youth soccer to NCAA Division I college soccer at Towson University to an indoor and outdoor professional career with the NPSL Baltimore Blast and Baltimore Spirit and the USISL Baltimore Bays and Delaware Wizards. As you can see below, his soccer resume is second to none. Even with all of his personal and professional accomplishments he has never forgotten his roots. He has continued to be actively involved with children not only in the youth soccer programs in the area, but as serving as a full time Physical Education teacher in Carroll County, MD.
Todd's philosophy is best illustrated by a quote from a local newspaper after a Baltimore Blast game. "The big thing about this is the kids. You can see it in their eyes that they are looking up to you. You want to give back to the community and you can do that." Todd Hicks
