Neil R.

I am originally from Surrey, England and have been coaching soccer for over 10 years. For the last 4 years I was working for a Major League Soccer team, coaching over 1000 young players in the New York and New Jersey metropolitan areas. While working for the team, I also volunteered coaching and instructing underprivileged kids throughout the Newark, NJ area.

I am also the Director for a Summer Camp program in Upstate New York, running the soccer program there each summer for approximately 300 campers. I have served as their Director of Soccer since 2010. Prior to that I coached in the UK, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand and Thailand.

I am focused on individual development and team tactics, I am happy working 1 on 1, with multiple players or with teams.

If I work with a player I commit to seeing them play so I can see where they need to improve and combine that with their goals for improvement.

I took most of my Qualifications in the UK, but I have completed both the NSCAA Goalkeeping Level 1 Diploma and Level 2 Diploma.

I also took it upon my self to take the Nationally recognized US Youth Soccer TOPS (The Outreach Program for Soccer) certification so that I can work with Physically and Mentally Handicapped Children and introduce them to world of Soccer.
