Coach Ezra was great. My daughter had her first session and she really enjoyed it. He took the time to learn and listen to what she is looking to improve upon. Then went right to work on those issues. He was fun yet pushed her on drills. We would highly recommended him.

Coach Ezra is great coach in all respects. Great communication, encouraging, and highly skilled. Giving my college soccer bound son one on one training in the absence of club play in the current environment and the training is top notch. Coach Ezra is able to physically work with the player as opposed to some of the older coaches who cannot; this is important in one on one training with teenage players. Highly recommended.

Ezra was great with my 10 year old daughter. By the end of the session there was a noted improvement in her confidence. She had a blast training with Ezra and is looking forward to the next session.

Coach Ezra is great trainer!
Top notch
I would recommend him to anyone looking to improve their game. He made my daughter feel comfortable and she had a lot of fun. Excellent and well prepared training
Will use again!

Coach Ezra was very professional, punctual, and knowledgeable. It is apparent that he loves coaching and has a desire to see children improve. He encouraged my son after each exercise which in turn made him work harder and more excited to keep trying. My son is still talking about ways to improve his techniques that he learned from Coach Ezra! He is truly an amazing coach! I would definitely recommend Coach Ezra!

Coach Ezra is great with my 6 year old son. He has found creative ways to keep his attention and challenge him. Will continue to work with him.

Coach Ezra brought a positive and a effective work out plan for my daughter. Looking forward for the next session.

If you are looking for a dynamic soccer coach with great experience, teaching skills, personality and love for the game, I recommend Coach Ezra. As a parent who was carefully seeking out a coach for my 16 year old son who is returning to the field after a serious injury, I was very impressed with Coach Ezra’s keen attention to gathering information on my son to create the best possible training plan for him. My son was motivated from the moment the first session began. Coach Ezra’s energy for the game was contagious and my son remained focused throughout the session. I could tell he was also having a good time meeting each of the challenges the Coach presented to him even though the exercises were intense. Coach Ezra’s training approach is firm, intelligent and also holistic. He shared good tips on diet and nutrition during the session, and he also provided some insight on overall game strategy and setting personal goals. He quickly identified my son’s strengths and areas for improvement, and guided him through some fundamentals to help him build on strengths and improve in weaker areas, which included ball handling and control. My son feels confident that Coach Ezra will really help him become a better player than he was even before his injury, and is looking forward to working with him. We all know soccer is as much a physical as it is a mental sport, I am so happy that we found Coach Ezra, for he is a remarkable coach making a serious effort to draw out my son’s potential in both the athletic and emotional aspects of the game. Much respect!!

Coach Ezra is a very knowledgeable and professional coach. Within a short period of time , we feel he has helped our daughter with her confidence.
His exercises and drills helped focus on key areas and made it fun. Coach Ezra is very patient and worked well with our 10 year old daughter.
Overall , it was a great experience and we would certainly recommend Ezra as a coach.
