More About Coach Katya
I have experience playing professional soccer at the highest levels all over the world. I have my USSF D coaching license, LMA coaching license, and have finished the LMA nutrition course. I have private trained kids as well as coached at a high school level and club levels at Roswell Santos. I am currently an assistant coach for the Life University women’s soccer team. I train boys and girls 8-18 years of age.
I am currently a professional soccer player home for the offseason. I played college soccer at Florida State University where we reached the NCAA final four every year I was there. After college, I went to play professional soccer in Russia, Finland, Iceland, Cyprus, Serbia, and most recently Belgium. In Cyprus, I played with Apollon Ladies FC in the UEFA Champions League. In Serbia, I played with Spartak Subotica in the UEFA Champions League.
My session plans depend on the the age of the player and their level of play/needs of improvement. However, I always like to start a training session with speed and agility without and with the ball. After that, I go into technical ball work where I make sure they get as many touches on the ball as possible. After I am done with that, we go into more specific drills based on what they need to work on. I like to focus on small details that create big results.

Coach Katya was great with our daughter. She taught her important skills in a fun and engaging way. Our daughter had a game later the same afternoon and we saw immediate results. She had much more confidence and scored her first goal!

Coach Katya did a great job with my 13 year old. My daughter was very pleased and I could see how well Coach Katya related her teachings so my daughter could follow.
I highly recommend Coach Katya to any young soccer player wanting to get better and move to the next level.
Kayvon Shakerin - Client (Testimonial)
Katya's technical and tactical knowledge and understanding of the game combined with her ease of communication with all ages on the pitch truly makes her a wonder of a coach. She has a keen eye to detect deficiencies and areas of weakness of each player and will adapt the training course to address them while making each student understand what the goals are. Her constant encouragement and positive attitude makes her a respected friend and mentor for life of any one who is lucky enough to become her student on and off the pitch.
Layla Shakerin - Client (Testimonial)
Katya is a fabulous coach who personally invests herself into the improvement of her students. She's focused yet fun and immensely helped me in strengthening my core and my confidence in my abilities.
Brian Walker - Client (Testimonial)
My 9 year old daughter Sara worked with Katya for a few months last year and the training was incredibly effective. From the first training I could see the experience Katya brings in her approach over others that my daughter had worked with previously. The trainings are not just your typical run through of drills. She has a way of breaking down the fundamentals and teaching technique in a way that can be fully absorbed by a young player. So many tips she gave my Sara were learned and are now part of her game today. Katya connected very well with Sara and she really loved going to the sessions. In her words Katya was “firm but nice, and I like that”. We really wish we were still living in an area where Katya trains as we would definitely continue to work with her.
Caroline Hiott - Client (Testimonial)
I have been training with Katya for two years, and over that time my skill level has extremely progressed allowing me to move from an Athena C to Athena A team in the course of only two years! Her sessions are very well structured and focus on everything from striking, fitness, and foot skills. My favorite skill I am learning from her is creativity on the ball, and she teaches me new moves and sometimes new trick like the "snake"! I extremely recommend her training for any one that wishes to progress their skill set, she will not disappoint! -Caroline Hiott
Theresa Funaro - Client (Testimonial)
My daughter Taylor plays for Slammers FC in California, We heard about Katya and Zaneta through our coach. I can honestly say that after two sessions with them I saw a huge difference in my daughters play. She was striking the ball better and was playing with so much more confidence. Katya and Zaneta do a great job at training the athlete but also at training the individual. Their training sessions were geared towards each athlete’s abilities. They were positive, professional and prepared! They were always on time, and always had time to answer questions. They even went and watched one of my daughter’s tournaments so they could evaluate what she needed to work on. Wish they were back here! Theresa Funaro 11/12/2015

I have played and coached with Katya for the past 2 years. Her passion for soccer and knowledge of coaching is top quality. Katya's simple and technical style of play is what makes her an excellent coach. She excels at being able to convey and translate the game to anyone at any age.
