Thank you Mike Dedo

A Heartfelt Thank You to Mike Dedo

After six incredible years, we are sharing the news that Mike Dedo will be taking a step back from his role at Springs Soccer Club to focus on what matters most—his family and his two young children.

A Legacy from the Beginning

Mike has been an integral part of the Springs Soccer Club family since the very start. For over half a decade, he has served our players, families, and staff with a level of dedication and heart that helped build the foundation of the club we are today.

Whether he was on the sidelines, in the office, or supporting our community, Mike’s passion for the game and his commitment to our mission were always evident. His presence will be deeply missed by everyone who had the pleasure of working with him.

The Next Chapter

While we are sad to see him move on from his daily role, we fully support Mike in this next chapter. There is no greater priority than family, and we wish him, his children, and his loved ones continued health, happiness, and many blessings.

Mike, thank you for being part of our journey from day one. You have left a lasting impact on this club, and you will always be a part of the Springs Soccer Club family.
