About Us & Our "Why"

We are siblings and friends who got a crazy idea to combine all the things we love together -- summer, soccer, and having fun with kids -- in a way that gives back to the community and the people we know and love. We wanted to create something that is 100% competitive, fun, and effective to support youth soccer in Wheeling.  

It's soccer as it should be!

Isaac "Ike" Aderholt

Isaac is a sophomore at Wheeling Park; he has been watching his older sisters play soccer since he was born, and has been kicking a ball (at fields, in the house, and at windows) since he could walk. Ike's sisters do not mind admitting he is already the best player out of the siblings! Isaac played for Beadling Soccer Club in Pittsburgh for several years including on the MLS Next 2008 Boys team. Now, he will be playing for the Riverhounds ECNL 2008 team and for Wheeling Park, as a rising junior seeking college offers. Ike has a true passion for teaching kids the game of soccer and often wishes he had younger siblings.

What Do We Do Besides Soccer?


Annalese recently graduated from Grove City College having studied History and Theology and married Bishop Wolf. After many years of family, participatory, and volunteer involvement in Young Life in Wheeling and Hermitage, Annalese will be working for the ministry full-time in Mercer County, PA, where she led throughout college. Young Life is a nonprofit, interdenominational Christian outreach to middle and high school kids.


Lucy enjoys singing and playing piano and guitar, and recently performed in the WPHS musical.

Lucy is a current student at Grove City College, studying English and the Classics, and is looking forward to participating in the plays and musicals offered at GCC.


Isaac plays soccer and is serious about fitness. Ike is a closet nerd, so feel free to ask him about Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, or even Battlestar Galactica. When not traveling on the weekends for soccer, he makes time for yard work and spending time with friends.  


Clay recently graduated from Grove City College with a degree in Biochemistry. Currently, Clay is living and working in Wheeling while preparing for medical school.
