Level: Beginner•Lessons taken: 15
My son Cody wanted to be better than he was, and I was afraid he was losing interest. Since his lessons with Coach Matthew, he has fallen in love with the game, and now practices on his own time and has been invited to play for the premier club in our town. Thanks coach!

Youth players
Working with kidsI have a 7 year old boy who is the light of my universe! I’ve had the great fortune of playing soccer & touring with my band all over the world,, there is no greater part of the human experience than being a dad. I love coaching young athletes, and I’m great with kids!
Working with teenagersTeenagers are great because they’re forming their habits, values, and ethics for life. I have an opportunity to instill the best, and empower them to form healthy patterns of thinking and decision making, while eradicating toxic thoughts, self-doubt, and negative thinking patterns that can impact their performance.
What you need to bringYou just bring yourself *strong attitude - bonus!
What I can bringI bring flexi goals, cones, soccer balls, pennies, and other equipment.
