Introduction
Maverick McCoy is a 2007 birth year Indy Eleven Pro Academy defender. Attending Indiana Connections Academy, he is a 4.2 GPA student who will graduate a semester early in December 2025. After graduation, Maverick has committed to play collegiate soccer at the University of Notre Dame in the Atlantic Coast Conference. McCoy signed an Academy Contract with USL-Championship team, Indy Eleven, in March 2024 and again in January 2025. He splits his time between the Indy Eleven first team, the USL-Academy U20 team and the U19 Academy teams.
McCoy has specialized in defending since 2018 and is comfortable in both right and left centerback positions. He is strong on the ball and technically skilled with a strong pass connection rate, yet also able to loft the ball long. As the squad leader, McCoy orchestrates tempo while remaining calm, cool and collected.
Training
McCoy’s work ethic is unmatched, training relentlessly. After experiencing hybrid (in-school one day and online-school the next day) in 2020, McCoy made the decision to abandon the traditional school environment to enroll in online school, where he could pursue his soccer passion with more intention. As a Carmel Clay Schools in-person student thru middle school, McCoy maintained straight A's. Transitioning to Indiana Connections Academy, McCoy's GPA has only gotten better.
During the USL-Championship season, you'll find McCoy training with the first team for couple of hours on the pitch, weight lifting at the gym, followed up with his recovery routine and nutrient replenishment. In between training sessions he completes his high school academic course work. In the winter, McCoy enjoys futsal training and participates with the Futsal Indy Men's team.
Passion
In his spare time, McCoy is a personal trainer at Sogility, a technology-driven soccer training facility in Westfield, Indiana. He is also a US Soccer Federation Official.
Thru a personal relationship with Lucas Stauffer (Creighton University [MF] '14-'17), McCoy was introduced to Jens Todt (Germany National Team '94-'96) who coordinated a trial at Hertha BSC, Berlin. McCoy traveled to Germany in July 2023 to train with Hertha's U17 team for a week. "It was an incredible experience," stated McCoy. "Everything about Hertha is on another level."
McCoy and his family reside in Carmel, Indiana. Since 2020 his family has hosted Academy players from outside of the Indianapolis-area. Notable host athletes include Mitar Mitrovic (MF)- Marquette University ['21-present], Alex Svetnoff (GK)-University of Louisville ['22-present], Matthew Senanou (DF)-UNC ['21-'22] and Xavier University ['22-present], and Hayden Vostal (GK)-DePaul University ['24-present].
When McCoy is not hanging around the pitch, he enjoys golf, pickleball, fishing and waterskiing.
