Oscar S.

I currently coach a U11 and U12 boys team at De Anza Force. I previously helped run sessions of up to 50 kids ages 6-12, as well as coaching 1 on 1 and small group sessions for kids within that age range. I specialize in coaching youth, and have extensive experience working with kids with a wide range of abilities.

I currently play for Semi Professional soccer team Inter SF. Previously I played for MLS Next U19 De Anza Force which were ranked top 10 in the nation. I was the MVP of my high school soccer team, finishing with 25 goals and assists my senior season, as well as leading my school to the quarterfinals of the NYC city playoffs, the furthest it has ever been. I also have had the fortune to play with and against multiple professional and national team players, which has furthered my knowledge of the game.

In my sessions, I place a strong emphasis on ball mastery — focusing on dribbling and passing technique to help each athlete become as confident and comfortable on the ball as possible. The first two-thirds of the session are dedicated to developing and refining proper technique through high-quality, purposeful repetitions. During this time, I actively coach, correct, and motivate the athlete to ensure continuous improvement and intensity. The final third of the session transitions into applying these skills in realistic, game-like situations — incorporating fun and competitive drills such as 1v1 challenges and finishing exercises to reinforce what’s been learned in a dynamic, engaging way.
