"Everything I know about football I learned on the street. My friends and I were always trying to think up a new feint. If anyone invented something new, they had to show it to the others. That is what street football is all about." - Zinedine ZidaneJohn Jenks:Former UConn and Liberty University player, professional player with the NJ Stallions and key member of the AKKA men’s futsal team. Instantly recognizable on the field because of his highly refined skill level, his ability and love for soccer has led him to gain playing experience abroad in Bolivia and Italy, as well as time spent in Spain and Brazil. His talent on the field as a player is only rivaled by his ability to teach the game which has led to many petitions over the years for his assistance with nationally respected youth teams, high school and collegiate programs. Never resting on his accomplishments, he continues to chase the game inspiring all he comes in contact with on and off of the field.
