More About Coach Kelsey

I am a current assistant college coach at CSUSB, assistant club coach at Galaxy South Bay, and have experience coaching high school. I have coached all ages from U8 club to college women. I have my E license and am working towards a D license.

I am currently playing professionally in Czech Republic with 1. FC Slovacko.
I played 3 years of semi-pro in the W-League (2 with SC Blue Heat and 1 with LA Strikers), 2 years in WPSL (LA Hotspur and Claremont Stars). I played 4 years in college at CSUSB, being named MVP in my junior year. I also spent one month training with a team in Denmark.
I have played numerous positions - center back and center mid with SC Blue Heat, outside back and mid with LA Strikers, center mid and outside mid in college, center mid, outside mid, and outside back with LA Hotspur and Claremont stars, and center mid and forward in high school and club - so I am knowledgable about each position but still have specific insight for each one.

I believe a good player is one who is consistent and able to do the little things right each time as well as adding special moments of impact to the game, so I personalize all training sessions for the particular needs and desires of each individual while following this ideal.
I start with a good warmup to prevent injury and prepare the player both physically and mentally. I like to focus on perfecting techniques (touch, passing, shooting, defending, etc.) and start by learning how to do the simple things right every time so they become habit and form a good foundation. I also like to focus on when and where to do certain things or use specific techniques as I believe tactical awareness is just as important as perfecting techniques.
I believe fitness and strength are also crucial parts of the game and am able to work this into training sessions if they client wishes to do so.

Client Reviews

Kelsey is very sweet and my daughter enjoys working with her a lot. She hones in on the skills that need improving and we've already seen an improvement in our daughters soccer abilities. We would definitely recommend Kelsey as a private coach for anyone else.

Coach Kelsey really helped our 8 year old son with soccer skills and techniques that dramatically improved his game! She is patient and inspiring, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great coach!

Kelsey really showed great patience with my son, and he really improved over the sessions. She had him do a lot of touches and get more comfortable with the ball, which he really needed. Definitely booking more with her.

I have been to a couple different private lessons and I really am impressed with Kelsey. I advised what position my daughter plays and she incorporates that in the training. Kelsey focuses on a lot of touches on the ball, footwork (both feet), moves,spacing and how to play the ball out of your position. My daughter really enjoys working with Kelsey and I have started to see her display the skills she has been working on on the games.

My daughter really enjoyed her time with coach Kelsey and she was asking me when we see her again. I am very happy with the exercises she chose and we will certainly book her again soon.

I believe that independent individual training will supplement my 8 year-old daughter’s soccer growth and development. Consequently I signed up for an initial 3-session training trial with Coach Kelsey.
My daughter Lizzy was initially nervous and somewhat reluctant to train with a “new” coach but Coach Kelsey quickly calmed the nervousness/reluctance with her introduction and cool even demeanor.
Kelsey then immediately set up a positive learning/playing environment with a proper scaled down FIFA warm up. Lizzy was “all in”. Kelsey then transitioned into multiple cone dribbling exercises which emphasized utilizing the inside & outside of both feet. She then moved onto various receiving/passing drills and ultimately transitioned into receiving, pushing into space and finishing.
During our initial training session Kelsey continuously offered correction and kept the session progressive and focused. Kelsey’s approach to Lizzy’s training was appropriate for her age and skill.
Lizzy’s second session with Kelsey was similar to the first with the exception of the introduction of a few signature moves and per Lizzy’s request, specific focus on improving shooting accuracy on moving balls.
In summary, Kelsey possesses a thorough knowledge of soccer techniques, tactics and body mechanics. Objectively my wife and I witnessed that Kelsey can effectively demonstrate and teach these skills to my daughter. I’m looking forward to continuing Lizzy’s soccer development with Coach Kelsey.

My 8 year old daughter just started soccer and we had 3 lessons with Kelsey so far. From the start Kelsey has been communication promptly and professionally. Scheduling and finding a site for practice was easy. Kelsey has been teaching my daughter fundamentals through various drills and my daughter is improving quickly while having a lot of fun. Kelsey is patient and shows great teaching skills.
I highly recommend Kelsey!
