Arturo Hernandez

I was born in Chicago, IL and attended Triton College while also playing and studying Exercise Science. I grew up in Albany Park playing soccer since I was 9yrs old. My soccer journey has taken me to multiple states throughout the USA as well as internationally to Croatia, Slovenia, and Mexico. I feel very lucky to have been able to learn about other cultures through my love for the game. 

When I decided I wanted to get into youth soccer and provide the same opportunities for the new generation I began coaching at Von Steuben HS, Boys and Girls teams before I seeked out Chicago City Soccer Club in 2020. 

I was introduced to Chicago City by a good friend and coaching mentor, Herve who was working with City and it was an easy choice for me. I chose to join City because it was the one club in the city that I felt worked within the communities to provide opportunities and help fund those in need to play organized soccer while also taking a deep care for all players, no matter the level.
