A native of Loganville, Georgia, Coach Alex Folkard is a proud product of Gwinnett County Club Soccer and Shiloh High School. With deep roots in the local soccer community, he is excited to give back to the area that helped shape his passion for the game.

Coach Folkard earned his degrees from the University of North Georgia and Georgia Southern University and currently teaches American Government and Economics. He is committed to helping students grow not only academically, but also as leaders and responsible members of their community.

With over 20 years of experience as both a player and coach—and 10 years of coaching at various levels—Coach Folkard brings knowledge, energy, and a dynamic style of play to the field. He believes soccer is more than just a sport; it is a powerful tool for personal growth, teamwork, and leadership development. His experience across multiple levels of competition has equipped him to develop players’ technical skills, tactical understanding, and confidence.

Coach Folkard looks forward to working with each player to refine their abilities, deepen their understanding of the game, and build confidence—not only on the field, but in the classroom and throughout the community.

Outside of school and soccer, he enjoys fishing, golfing, and spending time with his wife Alex and their son AJ, along with family and friends.
