More About Coach Behil

I’ve coached the Dallas team, a club that plays in the Ethiopian/ Eritrean tournament every year. They’re high level players, starting from high school to D1 college level and some pro. I’ve also coached under Afeworki Solomon, the highest ranked private coach in Maryland on CoachUp.

I’ve played professional in Eritrea, for a club called City Center Sport club (CCS F.C). I’ve also played for NOVA F.C USL2 pro team, Alexandria u19 Reds, Mls next, and the Men’s pro team. I won 2 District trophies for my High-School Varsity team (T.C.W); I was also invited to play in the Capelli Cup in New Jersey.

We will start with a short dynamic warm up to get your body moving and then we will work on ball mastery and finishing. My sessions will contain a lot of fitness for 12+ athlete’s because: "You might be able to dribble like Messi, but are you able to run for 90 minutes?” Also feel free to ask me to work on specific drills.

Client Reviews

This is our first time using CoachUp. Training with Coach Behil has been an excellent experience for our seven year old. Coach tailors sessions at his current level of play, while reinforcing basic elements and challenging him with skills development. Our son can't wait for his sessions with Coach Behil.

Coach B has been a fantastic coach for my teen daughter, who is new to soccer. He has been great at teaching foundational skills in a way that builds confidence, not pressure, and she genuinely looks forward to every session. His knowledge of the game is clear, and he brings a level of professionalism and communication that makes everything smooth and stress-free for us as parents.

We also really appreciate his flexibility when unexpected schedule conflicts came up—he’s always been understanding and accommodating. My daughter has grown so much already, and we couldn’t be happier with her experience. We highly recommend Coach B to anyone looking for a patient, skilled, and dedicated soccer coach!

Coach Behil has been so great with my 13 yo daughter. He is punctual, polite and knowledgeable, and has really clicked with E. They work hard for a full hour, and he designs thoughtful drills that include conditioning, ball handling and shooting. Super pleased and grateful to have found Coach Behil.

Coach Behil is atimewesome. He stays in communication with the parents. He displays his experience of soccer during the sessions in his ability to hone in and build on specific areas needing improvement. Our child also enjoys the sessions! He is serious about improving soccer players.

Update: Our child has been coached by Coach Behil since June 2025 and has shown improvement on the soccer field. The child has made the connection of "to be one of the best it will take a level of seriousness, confidence, and consistency towards transfering the skills Coach Behil are refining/developing into positive outcomes that benefits the child and the team." Observing the progress our child is making to reach full potential is aspirational.

After a few years on the same team, my son's progress and confidence as a player seemed to plateau, so we decided to give CoachUp a try. Coach Behil has been the boost we were looking for!

Coach Behil has been punctual, prepared, and gives my son an excellent workout. He takes the time to ask questions and really get to know him as well as his skill level. It is clear that Coach Behil knows what to focus on and how to make the most out of their time together. His demeanor is kind and encouraging. Overall, it continues to be a great experience and we're looking forward to our future sessions.

Very fun practices for my daughter and lots of improvement!

Coach Behil is excellent. My 7 year old son liked him right away and asked for more coaching sessions immediately after their first. 100% recommend.

Good coaching with affordable cost.

Great first session. Looking forward to more

The initial session with Coach Behil went great! My 14-year-old son reported that training was hard but that he loved it. Definitely scheduling more sessions with Coach.

Coach Behil is awesome with my 6 year old. He focuses on age-appropriate skills and is extremely patient. I would highly recommend him!

Coach Behil did an outstanding job coaching my 11-year old son, who plays on a travel soccer team. Under Behil's guidance, my son improved skills and tactical awareness; results that were obvious in his matches. Behil was friendly, supportive and patient, while being firm on focus and frank on feedback to my son. I relied on Coach Behil's services for nearly a full season and would have continued, if my family had not relocated to another state. Highly recommended.
