More About Coach Cali

During my off time or when I wasn't in my professional season, I trained female athletes over the last eight years participating in high school, club/rec, collegiate, and professional soccer. I have started my own private lessons business called Cali's Pro Academy, which is currently based in Gilbert, AZ. I have coached small youth camps for my former university at Arizona State, clinics ran by my pro teams Washington Spirit and Houston Dash, and clinics ran through my small business. I have worked with individuals in the Phoenix, Gilbert, DC, and Houston area. I am also the former head coach for the varsity women’s soccer team at Holy Child High School in Potomac, MD. I am willing to work with kids starting at 9 years old and above. My coaching philosophy is built around developing a strong work ethic and appreciation for the game. I have also been developed under the same coaches as Julie Ertz, Sydney Leroux, and Jess McDonald. The same specialized drills we were taught and the same drills I continue to use at the professional level will be incorporated throughout the session.

I have competed at the highest levels. I have been playing professionally for the past 7 years, spending 6 in the NWSL. I just retired this January from the NWSL spending my last season with Houston Dash. I was the 12th overall pick in the 2016 NWSL draft. I am a former collegiate athlete for Arizona State University where I graduated as the second all time leading goal scorer and 2014-2015 team captain. I participated in U23 US women’s national team camps throughout my collegiate career. I was also one of the top three finalist for the senior CLASS award which is awarded to the most outstanding senior student-athlete in 10 NCAA Division I sports, and made PAC12 NCAA DIV I First Team my junior and senior year in soccer and in academics.

Reminder that sessions are a growth environment! Parents are not allowed to interfere during the lesson.

A session plan will depend on the individual and their position. Running an hour long, we can work on whatever the player needs. We will incorporate basic and complex foundational/technical skills in every training to ensure versatility (adding tools to the toolbox)! This can include and is not limited to, 1v1's, finishing/shooting, turning, dribbling, etc. Sessions are meant to allow players to get as many touches on the ball as they possibly can optimizing performance and building confidence. My goal is to empower an individual to believe that through intentional hard work their goals can be met. **Message me for group session prices**.

PARENTS are not allowed to interfere with the lesson

PLAYERS are expected to
1. Listen
2. Be respectful
3. Work Hard
**if these are not being followed, I have the option to end the lesson without refund**

Proper Gear:
Cleats, soccer shorts, water (I will always have extra just in case), & Hair up!

As I would love to take on more players, my schedule is now full for individuals. I can only offer group lessons moving forward!

Thank you :)

Cali is fantastic! I would highly recommend her.

Cali is great! She had excellent communication prior to the session and was very prepared for the session. She has a wealth of knowledge that will help move our daughter forward in soccer. We look forward to continuing to work with her.

She’s an amazing and very encouraging coach I always look forward to my sessions with her every week

Great coaching session! Cali has a positive and encouraging attitude that contributes to a great soccer session! She was able to evaluate strengths and identify areas for growth in first meeting! We will definitely follow up with more sessions!

Amazing interaction with our daughter!!! Coach Cali has really helped her confidence and provided a high soccer field IQ to help her understand positional play better.

Ask what we wanted out of the sessions. Worked on variety of skills to build confidence. Positive feedback given during session. Constantly testing and pushing to improve.

What we appreciated most was Cali’s commitment to knowing Addi and her desires as a player. She listened to not only us as parents but the most important person the young athlete. The session was well planned out and focused on assessing skills. Once the session was over Cali spent time taking to Addi and then spent time sharing her observations with us as parents. We cannot say enough positive things about coach Cali.

Cali was amazing in every aspect. Great communication and flexibility. Very organized with a well planned training session. My daughter had the time of her life and learned so much after just one session. Highly recommend.
