September 2025: Coaches of the Month

The excellence that SoCal Reds demonstrates both on and off the field is made possible by our exceptional coaches—leaders who pour their heart and soul into developing our young players.

This month, we’re proud to recognize Coaches Kieran Sykes and Martin Ortiz!

Girls Coach: Kieran Sykes

Coach Kieran Sykes takes a thoughtful approach to each of his players, identifying their individual strengths and challenging them to push beyond their comfort zones. Through his guidance, players not only expand their skills but also build lasting confidence.

"Kieran's genuineness and understanding has rewarded center back Abby with a couple of opportunities to play up front, and she scored her first goal for the Team this past Sunday." - Parent

Boys Coach: Martin Ortiz

Coach Martin Ortiz has a remarkable ability to see the best in his players and recognize their unique talents. His belief in them inspires confidence, encouraging each player to rise to their full potential.

"He values every player and clearly displays how every boy has an instrumental role on the field. He holds high expectations for the players and gives them tools to rise to the occasion. He has fun with the players to motivate them when the time is right. He is great with families and knows all of the players and their families well. I am proud to call him our coach!" - Parent
