Training Philosophy

Each training session is customized based on the athlete’s individual goals. While the core focus is on fundamentals and technical development, sessions also incorporate strength, agility, and conditioning to promote a well-rounded performance. Areas of focus include agility, ball control, passing, dribbling, shooting, and more—each tailored to meet the specific needs of the player.

Group Sessions

Group training emphasizes intensity and game-realistic scenarios such as 1v1s, 2v1s, and small-sided play. Sessions are designed to sharpen key technical skills—passing, ball control, juggling, shooting, dribbling, awareness—and foster a competitive, high-energy environment that simulates real match situations.

Great session with Coach Emmanuel!! He was very diligent with my son and explained the purpose of each drill. He also gave him homework including drills to work on until the next session.

Coach was great. He was patient with my son and willing to explain the game to me. We’ll definitely use him in the future.

We were impressed with Coach Emmanuel. His demeanor was open, kind and attentive. He was focused on building each of our children’s soccer skills, adapting to each one’s needs and aptitude. He was knowledgeable and engaging. They thoroughly enjoyed their lesson.

Coach Emmanuel did a great job with our daughter on her first training session. He was early and prepared. He made her feel comfortable from the start. The drills were great - not only did she learn a lot but she also had a ton of fun. We have already booked another session and look forward to building her skills and confidence this summer.

Coach Emmanuel is amazing! My daughter has only had a couple sessions with him so far but she has improved remarkably in such a short time. He is so personable, kind and patient with her which really helps her to learn the game!

Coach Emmanuel has an excellent demeanor for engaging young soccer players. He challenges the player yet keeps it fun. Our son looks forward to each session and how he will improve.

Coach Emmanuel was fantastic with my son. My son’s skills have improved significantly and his confidence has improved dramatically. Plus, he’s having fun! Emmanuel has the coaching and communication stuff down (has the cool equipment, shows up on time, prepares, communicates, works on key skill development, knows how to coach, guide, and progress the player) and also excels in those bonus characteristics of being a positive presence and role model, bringing joy and ease to every interaction. Absolutely two thumbs up. He’s been a huge part of enjoying the experience with soccer this season. I have no hesitations in recommending him.

Coach Emmanuel provided excellent instruction to my daughter. Highly recommended.

Coach Emmanuel is excellent. My daughter loved her session. He was calm engaging and complimentary. He gave great instruction and feedback.

Emmanuel was very warm and supportive with my 13 year old son. He spent time doing footwork drills and they ended with penalty shots. We plan to book another session!

My daughter had a great first session with Coach Emmanuel. His activities played very well into the attacking skills she wanted to enhance and he was very well prepared for a productive session. I think his coaching is going to help her advance her skills quite a bit.

Coach Emmanuel was great. He was attentive to what I wanted to improve on. The drills were great and challenging. I really enjoyed the lesson.

Coach Emmanuel is a great coach. He has helped my son, age 12 while off season from his club team. He is always on time and prepared. He's great at communicating and I can always tell they work really hard in practice!

I am very impressed with the lessons that my daughter has received. Emmunual has been very polite and understanding with our needs and schedule. My daughter has gained quite a bit of confidence after starting private lessons. Even her soccer team coach noticed how much she has improved! We will continue with our private lessons and I highly recommend Emmunual!

Coach Emmanuel was great! He was understanding of my son’s needs and did an amazing job at creating a focused session. My son can’t wait until his next training. I highly recommend Coach Emmanuel!

Coach Emmanuel is a great soccer coach. My first session with him was a good experience. He introduced himself and got to know me. From the start I knew I would like him because he had a positive attitude. The training was good too, he took it seriously. He would point out mistakes and correct them. Overall coach Emmanuel is a friendly coach, I am looking forward to many more sessions.

My daughter felt very intimidated by the prospect of trying out for her high school team. Coach Emmanuel has done a great job addressing some of her weaknesses from both a tactical and technical perspective which has increased her confidence greatly. He is very patient and I would highly recommend him.

Great coach! My child had a lot of fun. Worked on footwork and agility, conditioning.

Coach Emmanuel was awesome with me son. He was able to pick up on skills he had and skills he needed to work on. He was early to the session and already set up. I highly recommend him if you are trying to improve your skills.

A friend of mine was telling me how his son's soccer skills have improved immensely because he has been working 1:1 with a personal soccer coach. I then decided to call and set up a session for my daughter. Wow, I was impressed with Emmanuel! My daughter has been playing soccer for years and she has never had this type of skills training before. Over just a few sessions she has improved in her footwork and coordination, but most importantly it was tailored to her. I highly recommend Emmanuel for your personalized soccer skills coach! He will not disappoint. Paul
Coach Emmanuel started working with my daughter, Kaitlyn, and since then I've noticed significant improvement in her foot work, agility, and ball skills. My daughter has gained confidence now whenever she possesses the ball. She enjoyed every training session-he made it fun yet competitive. I 100% recommend him to anyone out there who is looking for a coach who is extremely patient and knowledgeable!
