Camp Director
Coach Evans Francis is the Head Boys Soccer Coach at Lincoln Northwest High School, where he was honored with the Foundation of Lincoln Inspire Award. In addition to leading his high school program, he serves as a coach for the 402 Developmental Academy. Whether he is on the sidelines for a varsity match or working with youth athletes, Francis focuses on creating a positive environment where every player feels motivated to reach their full potential.
His coaching experience is rooted in a long history of player development both on and off the field. Beyond his current school and club roles, Francis has spent time coaching at Lincoln Northeast and founded “Kick It Kamp,” a non-profit organization dedicated to expanding soccer accessibility for children. He specializes in breaking down complex tactical lessons into simple, fun activities, ensuring every camper walks away with a deeper understanding of the game and a significant boost in confidence.
A versatile and elite athlete, Francis was a three-sport standout in high school before playing NJCAA Division 1 soccer at Iowa Central Community College, where his team earned a #4 national ranking. He continued his collegiate career as a team captain at York University, where he also earned All-American honors in track. Following his college career, he played semi-pro indoor soccer for Omaha City FC. His background as a high-level forward, midfielder, and track athlete provides him with a unique perspective on the intersection of speed and technical skill.
Coach Francis is excited to bring his high-level technical expertise and deep passion for player mentorship to the Revolution Soccer Camps.
