More About Coach James
I coached through the DC United Academy working at summer camps. Ages ranged from 10-16 years of age. We worked with the coaches and players at the Academy to provide a professional environment, regardless of experience.
I played at the DC United Academy team from age 16-20. I played Division 1 with Virginia Tech and William and Mary. At William and Mary, we were ranked #5 in the nation and went to the Sweet 16 my Senior year.
I’m a big supporter of teaching technique first. That is how I was taught and I think that it what is lacking in the US game today. I was trained in Brazil and they taught us to be able to adjust to any situation with our feet, legs, chest, shoulders and head.

Client Reviews
Causha (CoachUp client)
My daughter had a great first session with Coach James. The session was heavily focused on technique and she appreciated the immediate feedback and corrections to her form. She is looking forward to more sessions with Coach James to continue working on her technique and accuracy.
Carlos (CoachUp client)
I highly recommend coach James. I have already booked several sessions with him - and plan to book many more. I am an adult athlete interested in developing my ball handling and kicking skills for adult soccer and kickball leagues. Coach James is outstanding. He uniquely designs every session to my abilities and goals and provides practical, digestable advice. He is very communicative and a patient, invested instructor. If you're an adult client, you can't go wrong choosing James.
Michelle (CoachUp client)
My son enjoyed working with Coach James. James was reliably on time to each session and was very accommodating when we had a last minute request to change our schedule. He asks what particular skills you would like to work on and provides feedback on the session and suggestions on how to continue practicing on your own.
Victor (CoachUp client)
Coach James is a great fit to train and improve technical skills for my 16 year old son. He is patient and provides great drills specific to his position and is very knowledgeable about the game. Great first session and look forward to the next two sessions.
Ryan (CoachUp client)
My son enjoyed his time with coach James. He is very excited to work with him again

Good coach, and very patient with kids. My son has learned a lot with him. I totally recommend him, if you are looking for someone to help your child, or yourself develop skills and confidence on the field.
Dayna (CoachUp client)
Coach James is a great coach. He connected with my son right away, and even came out to meet us after a heavy snow day- he's hardcore! More than worth it- he's great.
Ashley (CoachUp client)
We have had two sessions with Coach. He is patient and provides clear instructions for my new soccer player.
He also provides actionable feedback for us to work on at home.
We hope to continue working with Coach.
Gerardo (CoachUp client)
Coach James is outstanding! In just a single session, he significantly improved my daughter's soccer skills and boosted her confidence on the field. His approach to training is perfectly tailored for young players, making learning both effective and fun.
