Orin Gilchrist

USLA & Pro Operations

My name is Orin Gilchrist and I am currently in my 2nd year with Chicago City Soccer Club. For me, soccer has been a passion of mine for my entire life. Originally I was born in Aylesbury England, and was brought up as a massive Manchester United supporter. My family moved over to the Chicagoland area when I was 8 and have been here ever since.


Growing up in the north suburbs of Chicago I attended New Trier High School and subsequently the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign with a degree in Sport Management. Since being with City I have had the opportunity to have a couple of roles in our Mini City Program, as well as Varsity Head Coach of the Amundsen Men's Soccer Team last year. Now at the club my role is focused on our USL program at all levels, as well as the growing Futsal program we have at Chicago City. 


Soccer has always been my passion, and I am happy to find a club in Chicago City that allows me to share the game with the community at all skill levels. GO CITY!!!
