Ryan Knapp's Page

Hi, I’m Ryan Knapp and I’m Co-Founder of Futbolist, LLC. I consider myself a soccer entrepreneur and it’s pretty much an addiction. I’ve been immersed in the soccer business world for the last three years through various soccer ventures such as Center Holds It, Queen City Football Club and the National Premier Soccer League, just to name a few.

I am Co-founder of Futbolist, LLC (website forthcoming) a company who believes in the game of soccer. We believe in soccer as a way to promote positive change and also encourage everyone to get involved in the game.

Our current projects are:

buffalofutsal - Bringing the game of futsal to Buffalo/WNY through professionally run leagues, an inner city program and adult leagues promoting the culture and futsal lifestyle.

Statzpack - Built with input from UEFA qualified coaches, current players and players who have hung their boots up but still stand on the touch line. Statzpack Soccer focuses on the core statistics that help the coaching team understand where the game is being won or lost over the 90 minutes – and where players need to develop. Our web service Manager provides a simple dashboard analysis game by game, over a campaign and drills down to the player.

Freestyle Football Federation - Made for freestylers, by freestylers, the Freestyle Football Federation (or F3) helps pro and amateur freestylers, coaches and teachers get the most out of the fastest growing sport in the world.

I graduated from SUNY Buffalo in 2005 with my B.A. in Spanish and Linguistics and completed 2 years of a Linguistics PhD program from 2007-2009. I have a fascination with languages, which transfers well into the global game or so I justify my post-graduate education.
