Kinzly’s passion for soccer extends to the community where she plays club soccer year-round. She organized fundraising clinics and coached summer camps. She loves teaching and mentoring others, including experiences like coaching toddler soccer and being a high school peer tutor. She has also coached young girls, empowering them to play soccer by equipping them with both skills and confidence.
