Meet The New Leadership Team For Classics Eagles SC
As we continue preparing for an exciting 2026-2027 season, we want to share an important leadership update and provide a look into the future of Classics Eagles Soccer Club.
First, Phillip Wischmeyer has made the decision to resign from the club to focus on personal matters. We are grateful for Phillip's commitment, passion, and service over the past several months and sincerely thank him for the positive impact he has made within our community. On behalf of everyone at Classics Eagles, we wish Phillip and his family all the best in this next chapter.
While leadership transitions can create change, they also present opportunities to build for the future. Over the past week, our leadership team has been evaluating how we can best position Classics Eagles to continue providing an exceptional experience for every player and family. We believe that future success is built through collaboration, shared expertise, and investing in people.
With that vision in mind, we are excited to introduce a new shared leadership model between Classics Eagles Soccer Club and Columbus Force Soccer Club. Rather than relying on a single individual, this structure brings together a team of experienced leaders who will work collectively to support our players, coaches, and families.
This approach is a natural fit because both Classics Eagles and Columbus Force Soccer Club are part of the TOCA Soccer family, which also owns and operates the TOCA Columbus Indoor Sports Center. By aligning leadership across our clubs, we can better leverage the collective experience of our staff, share resources and best practices, improve operational efficiency, and ultimately deliver an even stronger experience for our athletes and families. This collaboration allows each club to maintain its unique identity while benefiting from the strength of a larger, unified organization committed to long-term excellence.
This collaborative leadership model allows us to:
- Expand coaching leadership and mentorship across all age groups.
- Share proven training methodologies and best practices between clubs.
- Improve operational efficiency and communication.
- Provide greater continuity and support for coaches and families.
- Create additional opportunities for player development while preserving the identity and traditions of Classics Eagles
We are pleased to announce the following leadership team for the upcoming season:
In addition to our program directors, we are making an even greater investment in player development through specialized club-wide programming.
Mario Suarez will oversee all in-season technical training, integrating athletic development into our curriculum to help players become more technically proficient, confident, and athletic throughout the season. (E: Msuarez@tocafootball.com)
*The Fall skills and performance training link is now open for all players to register for within their PlayMetrics accounts.
Nolan Brooks will continue leading our Goalkeeper Development Program, providing dedicated training and mentorship for goalkeepers across every age group. (E: brooksmn200@gmail.com)
*GK training program will be available for player registration in the next 1-2 weeks
Our commitment remains unchanged: to provide a positive, challenging, and player-centered environment where every athlete can grow, compete, and enjoy the game. This new leadership structure strengthens that commitment by bringing together an outstanding group of coaches who are united by one common goal—helping every player reach their full potential.
We are incredibly excited about what lies ahead. Together, we will continue building a club culture rooted in excellence, character, development, and community. By embracing a shared vision across the TOCA Soccer family of clubs, we are creating greater opportunities for our players, enhanced support for our coaches, and a stronger foundation for sustained success for years to come.
We appreciate your trust, your partnership, and your continued support as we begin this exciting new chapter for Classics Eagles Soccer Club.
We look forward to seeing everyone on the field soon and sharing a fantastic season together.
Thank you for being part of the Classics Eagles family.
