Ali launched Re/Kick in 2020 and built it from the ground up. A former goalkeeper at NCFC, he knows firsthand the thrill of unboxing a pair of brand new cleats and what the game means to young athletes.

 

Now studying Mechanical Engineering at the University of Tennessee, he continues to lead the organization's strategy and long-term vision while trusting day-to-day operations to his co-founder.

Omar joined Re/Kick at age 10 and has since taken full ownership of the organization's operations. A high school student at Panther Creek High School in Cary, NC and a competitive soccer player with NCFC, Omar brings both a player's perspective and an operator's discipline to everything he does.

 

​Omar manages all collection drives, partner relationships, and the full restoration process — keeping Re/Kick running while balancing school and the sport he's helping make more accessible for others.
