Omar S.

I have been coaching soccer for the past 8 years at competitive levels as well as recreational.

At recreational level, I currently manage 3 teams, U6, U8 and U10. For this specific age group soccer must be 100% recreational, that's why I focus my sessions on global training (real game situations), and coordination drills rather than analytic training (non real game situations). Sessions are fun and have to do a lot with relationship with the ball and stimulating the players to discover the love for the game.

I've also coached teams at a competitive level from ages 14-18 years old that play Coast Soccer League at Gold, and Silver Elite levels. For this specific level and age group, besides basing most of the training as a global context as well (which has to do with real game situations), I also incorporate physical fitness; cardiovascular, strength, conditioning & flexibility so that the players could be well rounded. Analytic training is also incorporated to sharpen concepts such as passing, controlling, shooting, etc.

I've also done personal training to prepare players for their college and high school seasons. I've trained players that currently play at Biola Uneversity, Cal State L.A., Cal State San Bernardino and the most outstanding examples are a goalkeeper that made his pro debut in Mexico two seasons ago and currently plays professionally for Pumas UNAM, another player that after getting a full ride at Cal Baptist we took him to try out for Queretaro FC and currently plays for their U20 squad and the most recent one at 21 years old has been scouted by Pachuca FC and will be joining their 2nd Division team for pre season.

I have Cal South Coaching License Level: “E” License

Currently enrolled at OCC to obtain a “Fitness Specialist Certification”.
