Client Reviews

Luke’s favorite Futsal / Soccer coach, Alan Croft is the “Real Deal” and walks the talk. He has been instrumental in Luke’s mental and physical Futsal play by taking Luke under his wing. He has had the same effect on all the other kids he coached where he took several of the RCF boy’s / girl’s teams to Regionals and Nationals. Alan, loved Luke’s attitude and invited him to join the RCF Advanced Program in 2017, and before leaving made sure the RCF Advanced Academy Team came to fruition this summer, where Luke currently plays 2018-19. And we are forever grateful to him for pushing that through. He knows both outdoor soccer & indoor/futsal, inside-out and is a highly skilled technical player / coach who will dazzle with his foot skills and techniques and is in that Who’s Who group of coaches in the WA/OR, and National club soccer scene everyone knows about. Any player who trains with him will benefit immensely as he had all the attributes you want in a great coach and teacher.
Alan is a hard worker and passionate with his craft who always looks to improve. I recommend working with him.
Alan Croft is creative, knowledgeable, and an experienced coach. We look forward to seeing more from FutWork Academy! - SISM Street Soccer
Alan has been a positive influence for our son on and off the field. He’s dedicated to each player’s individual skills and knows how to give them confidence to improve. We are lucky to have crossed paths with Alan and know he’s always there to support us.
Alan shows up! He's prepared mentally and physically for every training. He brings out the best in kids and uses positive language to ensure they feel supported through the process. He's demanding and gives kids positive encouragement as they learn knew skills. He provides more than soccer skills, as he shows his concern to make all kids better people - on the field as well as off.
