Kick Start Academy was founded by best friends Karen Luksh and Jessie Wardecki with our sights on the Spring of 2025 and what we would like to contribute to our local community.

 

Karen is originally from the Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania area and now resides in Mountain Top. She is the mother of two boys who love sports and having fun. She works full time and has a passion for community engagement, business and children. 

​

Jessie, our founding trainer has a long history with soccer (among other sports) between training, coaching and playing for her high school and college teams. She is originally from the Hoboken, New Jersey area and has settled down here in Mountain Top, as well. She has one boy who plays baseball and soccer, so she stays busy outside of her soccer training hours. 

​

We hope to expand our soccer training/lessons team as we take on more passionate, eager players who are looking to expand their skills and knowledge in the sport.
