Kyle Heise Selected NSCAA National HS ACOY

Congratulations to Brookland-Cayce HS assistant boys soccer coach Kyle Heise on being selected the NSCAA National HS Assistant Coach of the Year for 2011. Heise was also tabbed the NSCAA South Region HS ACOY and was named the national winner on January 13, 2012 at the NSCAA Convention in Kansas City, Missouri.

Heise is a BCHS alum, Class of 1989, and former Bearcat Soccer letterman. He has remained involved with the program for the last 23 years as an assistant coach on the B-C staff.

In addition to his role with the Bearcats, Heise is founder and director of SCSoccer.com - the official website of the S.C. High School Soccer Coaches Association (SCHSSCA). He is an active member of the SCHSSCA and serves on several prep soccer committees and assists with state championship and all-star game functions. He also is a coordinator for the NSCAA Girls Coach of the Year committee and assists with the state, region, and national Spring rankings. In 2010, Heise established an annual scholarship in the memory of his infant daughter, Kylie Marie, who passed away due to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). The scholarship is given to a BCHS boy and girl soccer player each spring who demonstrated excellence on and off the pitch for the Bearcats and the Congaree Rapid Soccer Association (CRSA).

Outside the prep game, Heise serves as Secretary for the CRSA, online play-by-play announcer for the University of South Carolina's men's and women's Gamecock soccer teams, and is an ardent supporter of the Arsenal F.C.
