Meet The Board: Gary Crouch

Get to know our board members

We have been receiving a lot of great feedback on our Get to Know Our Board blog series, where we’ll shine a spotlight on the incredible volunteer board members who help keep Circle City FC moving forward.

These are the people working behind the scenes—giving their time, energy, and expertise—to support our players, families, and coaches and to help shape the future of our club. In each post, we’ll introduce you to one board member, share a bit about who they are, what they do, and why they’re passionate about Circle City FC, so you can get to know the faces and stories behind the club you’re a part of.

Here is one of our newest members to the board, Gary Crouch.

q: What is your current board position and role at circle city fc?

I don't have a position as of right now. So you will see me around the fields on game day coaching my daughter U12 team and lending a helping hand.

q: When did you join the ccfc board?

February 2026

q: What inspired you to get involved with the club?

My daughter enjoys playing rec soccer here at CCFC and she has made a lot of new friends. I also have two younger daughters who will play soccer when they are ready. So I want this club to be around for many years to come.

q: What's the most rewarding part of serving on the board?

I just joined the board, so I haven't done too much. I know the most rewarding part is going to be all smiles on the kids faces as they run around with old and new friends.

q: What's one thing families might be surprised to learn about running a youth soccer club?

I'm still learning what goes into running a youth soccer club but I can tell you there is a lot that goes on behind the scene than one can imagine.

q: Why do you believe community involvement and volunteer leadership matter in youth sports?

By volunteering and/or getting involved not only are you helping shape today's youth but tomorrow's youth as well.

q: What would you say to someone considering getting involved with the club?

If you are wanting to get involved/volunteer, start small. Start off as the team parent for a season or two then slowly work your way up to bigger commitments.

q: What is your favorite soccer memory?

I actually have two favorite soccer moments. My first is more of a proud dad moment when my daughters team won the end of the season tournament. My second is my first year coaching, my team just couldn't get into a groove of things during the regular season. So the kids didn't have high hopes going into the end of the season tournament. The kids did a great job rallying and coming together to make it to the championship game.

q: What soccer club (other than ccfc) do you support?

Indy Eleven, USMNT & USWNT.
