COACHES

With a team of 28 coaches we have tremendous experience with children, and all share two things in common: a love for working with children and a love for the beautiful game of soccer.

Witnessing the process of development is the most rewarding part of coaching for me. Watching our little friends being shy and timid at the start of the season to become more confident and making new friends by the end of the season is what fills my heart.

It’s a precious privilege to be a coach. The impact you can have on a child's life is greater than you can imagine. Whether it’s a 2-year-old learning important social and motor skills or a 10-year-old hungry to be the best, the way you communicate and understand that child will take their development way beyond the beautiful game of soccer. Soccer is the medium we use to create a better world.

Alex Messado

I love coaching kids soccer because it gives me a sense of fulfillment and purpose. I enjoy working with children and helping them develop their skills and confidence on the field. Watching their growth and achievements, both as individuals and as a team, is a source of immense pride for me. Coaching also allows me to pass on my passion and love for the game to the next generation, while also building strong relationships with the players and their families. The energy and enthusiasm of the kids keep me motivated and energized, making coaching a truly enjoyable and rewarding experience for me.

Master Head Coach

As a fan and soccer player, I love being a kids soccer coach. It is incredibly rewarding to watch them grow and develop both physically and mentally. Seeing the excitement and joy on their faces when they successfully complete a drill or score a goal is incredibly fulfilling. Additionally, teaching soccer to children has significantly contributed to my overall character development.
