ABOUT SOCCER MASTER

HISTORY OF SOCCER MASTER

Soccer Master was founded in 1978 by Emil John Brcic (pronounced Bursick) and his wife, Shirley. Emil would’ve loved to be able to visit a soccer shop in the 1940’s, but there wasn’t anything like that for him in the area. After continually going through the struggle to outfit their three sons for their next go on the soccer field, it dawned on Emil that there was a need for a one-stop shop where players and parents could find whatever they needed for soccer, whenever they needed it. Emil dropped a twenty year accounting career to open his first soccer specialty shop that he called “Soccer Master”.

The goal of the company according to Emil is to keep players coming in with a shopping list from leaving our stores disappointed. And by players, Emil was referring to all levels of soccer from recreational to professional. Emil Brcic passed away in 2007 but his dream has lived on with the help of his family including, David Brcic and wife Cindy who both now manage the companies operations. Following in his fathers footsteps, David has always the loved the game of soccer and even played goalkeeper professionally in the North American Soccer League and Major Indoor Soccer League. The highlight of David’s professional career was when he competed in the 1984 Olympics and earned four caps with the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team. We’re a family business through and through and it shows, it’s what makes us kick.
