More About Coach James
I currently coach at Coppermine Soccer Club. I've coached at the high school level at Notre Dame Prep. I coach kids of all ages from 6-18 years old.
I played 4 years of college at St. Johns University in NY. After College I played for the New York Red Bulls and City FC in PA. Currently playing for the Baltimore Blast.
I always start sessions with a good warmup with the ball focusing on technical ability. then would transition to a pass and move drill to incorporate some game like movement and scenarios. Will incorporate players position in these drills and will finish with drills to goal.

Client Reviews
Suzi (CoachUp client)
Absolutely love Jamie! He worked with my 7 year old competitive player multiple times from May to July. My son’s competitive season started 2 weeks ago and his coach noticed his skill improvement from last season and was really happy with what he saw.
Jamie was absolutely great with both my boys. Both with my 7 yr old that’s been playing since he was 2 1/2 and my 12 year who decided to try the sport for the first time this season. My oldest has adhd, a sensory disorder and has high functioning autism and Jamie was absolutely great with him. He took the time to make sure my son was really understanding everything he was teaching him.
Unfortunately Jamie’s schedule got busy so we haven’t been able to work with him for a little bit but my boys are always asking when they’re gonna get to work with Coach Jamie again.

Awesome first session! Can’t wait to get back out there with him!
Julian (CoachUp client)
Coach Thomas worked with my 9 year old son to help him prepare for upcoming tryouts. They have worked on footwork, delivering and receiving the ball, and movement and positioning. My son enjoyed training with Coach Thomas and we look forward to continuing that relationship. Thanks James!
Nicole (CoachUp client)
Coach James was great with my seven year old daughter! He was well prepared, knowledgeable, encouraging, and extremely patient. We will definitely continue training with him in the future!
