FKK'S SENIOR NIGHT

Senior Night is more than an event — it’s a moment to reflect, recognize, and celebrate the journey. Enjoy a night filled with great food, photo opportunities, our inspiring local guest speaker Dax McCarty, and the presentation of scholarships and senior gifts.

Together, we’ll share stories, celebrate achievements, and send off our seniors the way they deserve — surrounded by their teammates, coaches, families, and the club they’ve helped build.

Let’s come together as One Club. One Family. One Goal. to honor this group.

THE FINAL WHISTLE

One day the whistle blows for the last time, but the game never really ends.

The lessons you learned,
the teammates beside you,
the battles fought together —
they travel with you.

Wherever life’s field takes you next,
play with heart,
lead with courage,
and chase every goal.

Because once a player here…
you are always part of the team.

GUEST SPEAKER:

DAX MCCARTY

We are honored to welcome Dax back home as our Senior Night guest speaker — an inspiring example of where dedication, character, and a love for the game can lead.

Dax was raised in Winter Park, Florida and attended Winter Park High School. He began his youth career at CFU (Central Florida United) soccer club, now known as Florida Kraze Krush, where he was coached by our own Ray Sandidge.

He later joined the United States Youth Residency in Bradenton, Florida. From there, he played two seasons at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill before declaring for the 2006 MLS Draft. He is currently a TV Analyst for Apple - MLS Season Pass.

Dax is a former professional soccer player who spent 19 seasons in Major League Soccer as a central midfielder. He ranks 3rd all-time in MLS appearances with 523 games.

McCarty was drafted by FC Dallas in 2006 and went on to play for D.C. United, New York Red Bulls, Chicago Fire, Nashville SC, and Atlanta United FC.

At the international level, he earned 13 caps for the United States Men's National team and served as captain in a match against Chile.

His honors include:

  • MLS All-Star (2x)
  • Supporters’ Shield winner (2x) with the New York Red Bulls
  • MLS Best XI (1x)
  • CONCACAF Gold Cup winner (2017) with the United States

McCarty was widely known as a leader, organizer, and connector in midfield, respected for his consistency, intelligence, and ability to bring structure to his team. We welcome Dax back to his roots.
