It all began as a dream for Andy Tiedt, who sat watching his older brothers Chris and Mark play the game from the sidelines.  Chris and Mark gave him inspiration, which has ultimately made him the player he is today. 

Andy began his career in Akron at the age of eight (8) playing under the direction of his father Bob Tiedt, who has been a coach for Akron for the past fifteen (15) years.  In previous seasons Andy has managed to bring two (2) league championships and over five (5) tournament championships to Akron, thee (3) of which have been Akron’s own Kick It First.  

This previous year, Andy has helped the Akron Central School Tigers make it to the New York State class B semifinals in Oneonta, scoring a New York State record of sixty (62) goals in a single season.   Andy finished his career with the Tigers totaling 126 goals and giving the Tigers a 21-2 record (2007), Section VI and Western Region championship. 

Andy has currently signed a letter of intent to the University of Binghampton where he will be attending this fall, studying Business.  The Akron Soccer League wishes Andy the best of luck in his career!
