Our Story

It started with
one kid who
couldn't stop
moving.

Ace is Ty & Amanda’s 7-year-old soccer star whose energy and love of movement seems to be limitless. No matter how much Ace played at recess or after school, he’d come home with seemingly more energy than when he left for school in the morning.

Ace would beg Ty to go play soccer with him and his friends every night at their community clubhouse, and so they did. Through these endless hours of playing and learning and fun, Ty saw more and more kids who needed to get more energy out, have more structured instruction, and grow both as athletes and young men and women.

“This kind of impact needs to be accessible to more than just one local soccer team.”

To start, Ty began coaching Ace’s YMCA soccer team that was in need of better instruction, leading them to an undefeated season in their first year. Throughout that season, Ty saw all of the kids develop in countless ways and decided this needed to be bigger.

Ace has shown more growth as a leader and teammate than Ty and Amanda ever expected. His confidence in his skills has shot through the roof, and he understands how his behavior and leadership can affect others. These are exactly the kinds of benefits The Rec Room is built to provide hundreds, if not thousands of other kids and families.
