Lucas Barbosa

Head of Soccer

Lucas' passion for soccer started just after his first steps. It continued through his childhood and youth, where he excitedly participated in soccer lessons all for many years. As a kid, he self admits he wasn't one of the top players, but as his passion and dedication increased it helped him to become a professional player by the age of 17. At present he is now 28 years old and has over a year of coaching experience, coaching soccer for the kids and simultaneously engaging their interest in the sport. Seeing their health and happiness is the most meaningful thing of his life. He is now Head of Soccer at Fit For Kids Co, where he writes, conducts and coordinates the entire program.
