About Us

Soccer Premier, Kentucky’s premier soccer store, began business in 1990 serving the local soccer needs of the Louisville, KY community. In January 2000 Soccer Premier was purchased by Eddie and Jackie Howell. Having a vision to expand the offerings provided by Soccer Premier a second store was opened in Elizabethtown, KY in April 2000.

The following month the Louisville store was moved into a new store built inside River City Indoor Soccer Club. The Louisville store is managed by Don Byars and he is assisted by his wife, Teresa. They have been active in the Louisville soccer community for almost 20 years. Their success in managing the Louisville store is felt throughout central and northern Kentucky.

The Elizabethtown store is currently managed by Eddie Howell, owner of Soccer Premier. It is the base of operations for the company. In both the day to day operations of the company and the Elizabethtown store Eddie is assisted by Kathleen Thompson and Samantha Gibson. Under Kathleen’s and Samantha’s leadership the company operations and Elizabethtown store have flourished serving southern and western Kentucky.

During this time of growth Soccer Premier has become Kentucky’s largest soccer specialty company. Soccer Premier has grown from a local soccer store serving the Louisville community to a company filling the needs of a multi-state area.

Soccer Premier’s goal is to provide outstanding customer service and quality product for soccer players at all levels of play, recreational to college. We look forward to continued growth and the opportunity to service your soccer needs.
