Kellan Y.

I am a dedicated youth soccer coach with over 3 years of professional experience at KidsUnited. I started as a Coach in June 2023, was promoted to Head Coach in April 2024, and most recently promoted to Manager in May 2025, where I successfully led the opening of a brand-new franchise location in Middletown, NJ.
I hold both my NJYS State Certificate and US Soccer Grassroots 11v11 Coaching License, and earned a B.S. in Sports Management & Finance from Seton Hall University. My coaching style focuses on player development, confidence building, and creating a positive, fun environment where kids genuinely enjoy improving.

As a former competitive goalkeeper, I bring firsthand playing experience to my coaching:

4-year Varsity Starter (Goalkeeper) in high school
First Team All-Region as a Sophomore (only underclassman selected)
2-Time Region Champion
Mustang of the Year Award winner
2-Year Team Captain – Seton Hall University Club Soccer

Every session is personalized based on the player’s age, skill level, position, and goals.
For Field Players:

Warm-up & Ball Mastery (quick feet, dribbling, first touch)
Technical Development (passing, shooting, crossing, 1v1 moves, ball control)
Tactical & Game Intelligence (positioning, decision-making, small-sided games)
Finishing & Fun (shooting challenges, competitive drills)

For Goalkeepers:

Warm-up & Footwork (agility, positioning, diving technique)
Shot-Stopping & Handling (catching, parrying, high balls, distribution)
Crosses & Set Pieces (command of the box, punching, organizing defense)
Game Scenarios (1v1s, breakaways, back passes, mental focus)

All sessions are high-energy, use positive reinforcement, and end with fun challenges so players leave confident and excited for the next session. Whether your child is a field player or goalkeeper, training will be tailored to their specific needs.
