McKinney Christian Academy

Gael Ramirez is in his second year as the Head Boys Middle School Soccer Coach at McKinney Christian Academy. Though MCA is his first official coaching role, Coach Ramirez brings a lifetime of personal playing experience to the field—having played soccer since the age of three and developing a deep love for the game throughout his childhood and high school years.

More than just coaching skills and strategy, Coach Ramirez is passionate about mentoring young athletes through a biblical lens.

“I like to use the fruits of the Spirit with the boys I coach. I wasn’t taught Christian values in school growing up, but through church and serving, I’ve learned how to share God’s Word and instill His will in others.”

Alongside fellow MCA coaches Dani Martinez and Gabe Castillo, Gael serves faithfully at Christ Fellowship Church in McKinney, TX. For him, coaching is more than a position—it’s a calling to use the game of soccer as a platform to lead boys toward Christ.

“It’s a pleasure to not only coach the beautiful game of soccer, but also to share the Word of God and help lead these boys to Him.”
