Alexis Toles brings a strong combination of collegiate playing experience, youth coaching, and a background in education and player development to FC Copa Academy. A former collegiate soccer player at Towson University, and FC Copa player, Toles has spent years working with young athletes in both competitive soccer and developmental environments.

​

Toles began her coaching career through youth programs at Towson University Athletics and later continued working with youth players through Coopermine United. In these roles, she worked with players across various age groups and focused on developing fundamental soccer skills, strength, agility, and overall athletic development. Her coaching experience also included recruitment-focused work, giving her insight into the opportunities available to players looking to continue their soccer careers.

 

Toles joined FC Copa Academy in 2023 and has continued to work with players in the Brooklyn region. As a youth coach, she collaborates with coaching staff to establish age-appropriate goals for both individual players and teams, while contributing to community outreach and initiatives designed to expand opportunities for young athletes. She has also worked with NWSL programs to support the development and continued participation of female athletes in soccer.

​

In addition to her soccer background, Toles has an extensive professional background in education and behavioral development. She currently works as a Special Education Specialist with NYC Public Schools and previously worked in clinical and educational settings supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Her experience in these environments has strengthened her ability to communicate effectively, understand individual needs, track development, and create supportive environments for learning and growth.

​

As a coach, Toles brings a thoughtful and individualized approach to player development, with an emphasis on building strong technical foundations, confidence, teamwork, and positive development environments. Her experience both on the field and in education allows her to connect with players as individuals while helping them continue to grow as athletes.
