Built by people who show up for kids.
Foosball Clubs USA is led by a working board, an Executive Director, and volunteers who believe every young person deserves a place to belong.
Empowering Students and Uniting Communities
Board of Directors
Our board sets direction, protects the mission, and keeps FCUSA accountable to the students and donors it serves.
Mark Drollette serves as President of the FCUSA Board of Directors. He leads board meetings, sets the agenda with the Executive Director, and keeps the board focused on FCUSA's mission and long-term vision. Mark represents FCUSA with donors, partners, and schools.
Mark is also one of FCUSA's most hands-on educators. As a teacher and foosball advisor at Northeastern Clinton Central Schools in New York, he runs one of the strongest school clubs in the network. He mentors students who go on to compete at the national level. His club was named FCUSA's 2025 Club of the Year. He has also been recognized as a Promoter of the Year in the wider foosball community. Coaches and students describe him with the same words: patience, kindness, and servant leadership.
Alissa Brasey serves as Treasurer and chairs finance and audit for FCUSA. She gives the board clear, simple financial reports, leads the annual budget, and oversees FCUSA's financial controls and reporting as a 501(c)(3). She works closely with the Executive Director and the finance team to review statements, approve reimbursements, and make sure every filing is done right and on time.
She does this work for a living. Alissa is Senior Vice President of Operational Accounting at Summit Funding Group, a wholly owned subsidiary of First Financial Bank. There she oversees accounts receivable and payable, IT and systems, and the team that handles contract bookings. Budgeting, audits, compliance, and risk management are her day job.
Alissa is married with two children. She loves time with her family, teaching, and being involved in foosball.
Deb Robison serves as Secretary and leads governance and board development for FCUSA. She guides the board on sound practices for youth safety and compliance, and she champions our BoardSource membership, putting that training and those resources to work for the whole board.
In her professional life, Deb is Director of Outreach and Collaboration for Ohio's School-Based Center of Excellence for Prevention and Early Intervention at Miami University. She brings that deep experience in student attendance, connection, and well-being straight into FCUSA's work. It helps the program stay grounded in what actually helps young people in schools.
Mike Kelley serves on the Board of Directors and chairs development and fundraising. He helps set FCUSA's fundraising goals and leads the fundraising committee, working to grow a healthy mix of donors, grants, and corporate partners so the mission is well resourced for the long run.
Mike spent 35 years in leadership roles at Procter and Gamble, working both at home and around the world. He began his career in the beauty business and never strayed far from the work he loved. He stayed in beauty, health, and grooming with some of P&G's largest brands and its top customers across the globe. Through all of it, he was known for coaching, leading, and developing the people around him.
Today Mike is retired, but he has not slowed down. He stays busy helping people and investing in his community. He has also returned to professional foosball as both a player and a promoter. He reviews FCUSA's policies and plans with that same careful eye and asks hard questions.
Jim Provost chairs community engagement and partnerships for FCUSA, building relationships with schools, sponsors, and the wider foosball world.
Jim is President of the United States Table Soccer Organization and a leader in the sport at the national and international level. In 2025 he represented the United States at the International Table Soccer Federation competition in Murcia, Spain. That reach gives FCUSA a direct link to the sport's leaders, events, and sponsors. It helps connect the school program to the broader game.
Jim also brings business experience to the board. As CEO of I Love Produce, he built and ran a company at national scale. He brings that experience to FCUSA's growth plans.
Executive Director
The board sets the direction. The Executive Director carries it out, running the program day to day.
Michael Stahl
Truant kid turned world champion, now leading the mission to put foosball in schools.
Michael Stahl was one of the most truant kids in his school. Then he found foosball. It gave him a place to belong, and it changed the direction of his life. He went on to become a world champion, earning titles across multiple divisions from 2012 to 2024. Today he leads Foosball Clubs USA with one goal. Put tables in schools so more young people find the same sense of belonging he did.
As Executive Director, Michael carries out the direction the board sets. He builds and keeps the donor and funder relationships that pay for the program, works with schools and districts to open new clubs, and oversees the equipment pipeline and curriculum training. He reports results back to the board and to the foundations that support the work.
Most kids love foosball, they just don’t know it yet. This game gave me confidence when I had none, and it gave me people when I had nowhere to be. Now my mission is making sure the next kid gets that same chance.

John O’Brien
Founder of Foosball Clubs USA
John O’Brien taught technology in a public school in upstate New York.
He fell in love with the game in college. Then life got busy, and the table went away for years. What brought it back was a garage sale. His wife, Jane, spotted an old foosball table, bought it, and that table ended up in his classroom.
That is where everything started. John watched kids who never talked to each other end up on the same team. Four kids on one table, from four different backgrounds, all pulling in the same direction. That was the part he loved most. The game did not care where a student came from. It just asked them to show up and play.
So he started Foosball Clubs USA, on one simple belief: give a young person a table, and you give them a place to belong.
We lost John in 2022. His table is still in the room, and his belief is still the reason we show up. Our team carries his vision forward in every school we reach.
Love what we are building? Come be part of it.
We are always looking for people who want to help more students find their place. Whether you want to bring a club to your school, support the program, or give your time, we would love to hear from you.
