Elmhurst Soccer FieldSoccer Venue in Oakland, CA

With over 28 years of soccer experience, I bring a lifelong passion for the game to every team I coach. I played competitively at Miramonte High School and have spent my life immersed in youth soccer—as both a player and a dedicated coach. My coaching philosophy centers around building strong fundamentals, fostering teamwork, and helping players develop confidence both on and off the field. Whether working with beginners or experienced players, I focus on creating a positive, disciplined, and high-energy environment where young athletes can grow and thrive. I don’t just coach the game—I build players who love it, live it, and leave it all on the field.

"Francesco’s coaching helped me step up as a leader in ways I never expected. He showed me how to take responsibility, motivate others, and lead by example. Because of him, I’m more confident guiding my team and handling challenges both during games and in everyday life.

Hi there, I am Coach Jenny, founder of Rise Soccer Training in Oakland. I moved from England in 2003 to coach and play soccer in the US. I have played and worked with many companies, teams and schools over the years and with children of all ages and abilities. I hold a UEFA B coaching license and I have had a lot of coaching work in different sports. I look forward to meeting with you.

"Coach Jenny was wonderful with my son. She made the session fun while still focusing on skills and confidence. He felt comfortable right away and is excited to continue training. Highly recommend for any child looking to improve.
