"Great first session—coach was energetic, patient, and really connected well with the kids. Made the class fun while teaching basic skills clearly. My 7-year-old felt comfortable, engaged, and is excited to come back!

Started playing soccer competitive at 10 years old for Grove United FC in Illinois. Played with the club for approximately 6 years right before I went to high school in 2010. I switched clubs to play for Jean-Pierre Tokoto, who played for Cameroon at the World Cup in the 80’s, at FC Tokoto until 2014. In high school at Adlai E. Stevenson, I captained the sophomore boys soccer team to an undefeated seasons and went to play for varsity at the beginning of my junior to senior year. I played collegiate soccer at Elmhurst University for 4 years and travelled with the soccer team to France and Spain to play second tier academy teams. Through rigorous training from ID camps, travel soccer, training with semi-pros, and physical fitness, I increased my knowledge and fundamental skills to help the teams I played for reach for many finals, championships, and bragging rights over rivals. “Futbol/soccer is the beautiful game”- Pèle.

"Kanal is an exceptional coach and we feel very blessed to have found him for our 6 year old son. Major highlights include that for sessions, he comes to fields right near our house which is so convenient. He is a great motivator for our son who says “Coach gets me to hustle hard” and the drills he provides are helping our son grow technically but also build his confidence which is priceless. He has great banter to encourage our son and is very friendly. He is also always communicative and quick to respond which is a plus. Overall, we highly recommend him!

I was a professional player in Mexico, and I played for Atlante, Chivas, Pumas, and Necaxa. I played important tournaments like Copa Chivas, Torneo de Barrios, Torneo de Talentos, and Copa Mexico-Telmex. I'm a soccer coach in club and school programs. I work with kids and teenagers because I love the passion and enthusiasm that they show when they play the game.

"My son really enjoyed his first lesson and seemed quite motivated throughout. Felt comfortable with Luis and responded well to the coaching approach, which was encouraging. The lesson highlighted some good interaction and focus on basics. Still, I’m hopeful future lessons might include more varied drills to keep motivation high. Anyway, I think it’s worth trying Luis if you’re looking for structured soccer guidance.

Hello. I am a current High School head coach for the last 8 years and a personal trainer for over a decade. I’ve also coached several club soccer teams. I work with Blazepods to get the most out of our training sessions. They are fun to use and get my athletes engaged. I have all necessary equipment and balls for all age groups. Transforming raw talent into confident players is my passion. With 40 years of experience, I've honed my coaching to not only build skills, but also foster a deep love for the beautiful game. Let's work together to unlock your potential on the pitch! I can meet at most west valley park locations. I like Alamar Park in Avondale and Veramonte Park in Surprise for the space and goals.

"Our two boys were looking to raise their skill level and Coach Roger helped with that by making our sessions fun and challenging. Their training time was maximized with tons of touches on the ball. They were given homework and did it all which gave them goals to work toward during the summer. Our oldest son even made a club soccer team for the first time after training with Coach Roger. Before we began training with Roger our younger son had difficulty putting the ball in the net even though he had a lot of chances. Coach Roger helped him with mental aspects of the game and he was able to start scoring goals. We would definitely recommend Coach Roger to anyone looking to improve their soccer game.
