More About Coach Pellegrino
I am a certified soccer coach holding a US Soccer National D License, combined with a Degree in Sports Science (Scienze Motorie). Currently, I serve as a scout and evaluator for the New Jersey Youth Soccer Olympic Development Program (ODP). My coaching methodology bridges high-level European tactical discipline with American athletic development. I work with players of all skill levels: I help beginners build a solid technical foundation and a passion for the game, while also training elite competitive players who want to transition to top academies and college soccer.
Certified in High-Performance Individual Development Planning (APFA). I don't run generic drills; I design custom development blueprints tailored to each athlete's specific position, physical profile, and tactical needs—using elite European methodologies to accelerate growth and on-field decision-making.
Before moving to coaching, I had a 15-year career as a professional soccer player in Italy, my home country. I grew up in the prestigious youth academy of Inter Milan (F.C. Internazionale), where I won a National Championship (Scudetto Under 18). I then went on to captain the Sassuolo U-20 squad. My professional career includes appearances in Serie B (with Sassuolo), Serie C (Taranto, Nocerina, Mantova), and extensive experience captaining several Serie D clubs. Having played at the highest levels of Italian soccer, I bring true professional standards to every training session.
A typical 60-to-90 minute session with me is highly structured and tailored entirely to the athlete's age, goals, and current skill level. Whether a player is just starting out or preparing for college showcases, the intensity and complexity are calibrated to ensure constant progress without burning out.
Here is how I structure my sessions:
Dynamic Warm-Up & Activation (10-15 mins): Injury prevention, agility, and coordination.
Technical & Ball Mastery (20 mins): Fundamental footwork and passing for beginners; high-repetition scanning under pressure for advanced players.
Position-Specific & Game Situations (25 mins): Drills adapted to the player’s level (basic technique and spatial awareness or advanced position-specific tactical drills).
Conditioning & Cool Down (10 mins): Soccer-specific fitness and active recovery.
Every session concludes with constructive feedback and actionable homework to help the athlete improve before our next meeting.

Client Reviews
Jack (CoachUp client)
Coach Pellegrino was awesome. The time and effort he took to plan the session for my 15 year old daughter was above and beyond. He explained everything carefully and was really nice. It’s hard to find a trainor that actually cares about what you learn and get out of a training session and Coach Pellegrino does!
Anand (CoachUp client)
My 8-year-old son had a training session with Coach Pellegrino and came off the field asking when he could go back — which, for any parent of a young player, is the metric that matters. The session covered real ground: dribbling with both feet, fast change of direction, volleys, and shooting — but what stood out was how creatively he packaged it. Instead of standard cone drills, he turned everything into games and challenges that kept my son fully engaged for the entire hour, working his weaker foot without it ever feeling like a chore. He pitched the difficulty perfectly — hard enough to stretch him, never so hard he got discouraged. You can tell Coach Pellegrino has lived the game at a high level, but more importantly, he knows how to translate it for a young kid. Highly recommended for parents who want real development without draining the fun out of it.
James (CoachUp client)
Coach Pellegrino is an amazing coach who can coach any level or age of player. My son is 7 and after just two sessions, has developed better ball control than the past 2 years of being in rec soccer. What I like most about Coach Pellegrino is his patience and commitment to ensuring that his players not only develop but also enjoy the game of soccer. I look forward to continuing my son’s development under Coach and highly recommend Coach Pellegrino, he is worth every dollar.
Jean (CoachUp client)
If you are a total beginner who is nervous about starting soccer, you absolutely need to train with him. I was incredibly anxious before our first session, worrying that I would look silly or hold things up since I had zero experience. But his incredible patience and constant encouragement completely changed everything for me. He makes learning soccer fun. I highly recommend coach Rino
Amy (CoachUp client)
Coach Pellegrino was outstanding, and I can't recommend him enough.
Before our session, he took the time to ask thoughtful questions about my son, Jaden, his training background, and the specific areas I wanted him to work on. I truly appreciated that he tailored the session to Jaden's needs.
He arrived on time, was incredibly kind, and immediately made Jaden feel comfortable. The training was high quality, focusing on juggling, dribbling, passing, and shooting, with excellent instruction throughout.
What impressed me most was that he wasn't in a rush to leave. After the session, he spent extra time talking with both Jaden and myself, sharing advice and stories from his experience playing overseas.
Coach Pellegrino is knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely invested in helping young athletes improve. We'll definitely be booking more sessions, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for personalized, high-quality soccer training.
Kim (CoachUp client)
Coach Pellegrino is great! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and provided helpful feedback while keeping the training challenging and engaging. We're looking forward to more sessions and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for quality 1:1 soccer training.
