Private Soccer Training & Coaches in South Gate, CA

I had the best professional teachers from childhood. Maradona, Pele, and Phillips. A couple more, I’ll tell you in person. Pepperdine University graduate. I coached a lot of younger professional players when I was young, anything to get their attention and they listened. Euro 2024 and a lot of countries players. If you want me to coach your team to win a league it’s not difficult for me. I don’t need to play to coach. I prefer to play and coach.

Expert Soccer Development (USSF Licensed) About Me: "With over 15 years of experience on the pitch as a player and a professional coaching background, I bring a deep passion and technical expertise to every session. I hold the USSF National D and E Licenses, and I am a Level 3 Certified Coach through NFHS, specializing in elite training for Middle and High School athletes. My coaching philosophy is built on the same foundations I learned in the American soccer system: technical mastery, tactical intelligence, and a positive mindset. Having worked extensively with AYSO (U10 & U12) and school programs, I know exactly how to tailor my approach to meet a player's developmental stage—whether they are just starting their journey or preparing for competitive school tryouts." What to Expect in My Sessions: "I don’t believe in 'one-size-fits-all' training. Every session is customized to the player’s specific goals. We will focus on: • Technical Excellence: Refining first touch, passing accuracy, and ball control. • Game IQ: Understanding positioning and making faster, smarter decisions under pressure. • Athletic Performance: Improving speed, agility, and soccer-specific conditioning. My goal is not just to build better soccer players, but to build confident athletes who love the game." As a bilingual coach (Arabic & English), I pride myself on clear and effective communication. I can explain complex tactical concepts in both languages, making sure international players and local students alike feel comfortable and fully understand the training goals.

"Coach really helped my son master his specific position. The NFHS Level 3 training clearly shows in his coaching style. He focuses on the small details that make a big difference in a real match. The best private training investment we've made so far.
