President

CARLOS TORRES, P. ENG.

Carlos has been a member of the Calgary SouthWest United Soccer Club since 2012 when his younger Daughter expressed interest in playing soccer. This club has been more than just a soccer development organization for Carlos. He has helped in many aspects for the upliftment of the club.

Carlos is a Petroleum Engineer with more than 20 years of experience as a licensed Professional Engineer in the Province of Alberta (APEGA). He is currently acting as a development lead at Suncor.

“I truly believe that CSWU is one of the top soccer clubs in Calgary and Alberta and that the potential of this club has not reached its peak. Following this belief, I asked my self and you the following questions:

  • Where do we see CSWU in the next year and the following five years?
  • What goals would we need to achieve as a Club to take full advantage of our potential?

I strongly believe in this Club potential, and I also believe that parents, players, coaches and staff need to work collaborative in an inclusive environment to make CSWU the best Club.”

Director

Danielle Graham B.B.A

 

Danielle became a member of CSWU in the Outdoor 2022 season, when her daughter joined the SWU SC 2009 team. Soccer has always been a big part of her life, as Danielle started playing when she was 5 years old and continues to play in the Calgary Women’s Soccer League! The experience of playing has had a meaningful and lasting impact on who Danielle is today, as she advocates for keeping kids in the sport and believes that CSWU develops soccer players for life.
