Coach Ray is our go to coach for improving shooting, passing and getting faster ball movement. We highly recommend Coach Ray!

Coach Ray is really professional and knowledgeable with both our beginner boys at the first initial session. Highly recommend for family who are looking for private lessons.

My 9 years old son just had the first class with coach Ray, he loves the class and leaned a lot in the class, we look forward to the next class.

Coach Ray setup at least 3 separate nets, and had a few dozen soccer balls ready before the session. He was friendly and encouraging, and challenged our elite player every minute of the session. He did a great job assessing our player's skill level, and offered her numerous technical improvements. We look forward to continuing to work with Coach Ray.

Did a great job working with my son.

Coach Ray was inspiring and motivating to my 11 year old. He is excited about doing the videos and I am confident working with Ray will help improve his play.

My twin boys (51/2 years old) had a great time with coach Ray. He was very through, friendly and patient and the kids enjoyed following his direction and getting their private training. He responded quickly to my request created a package for the twins and made the end to end experience very smooth. Highly recommend coach Ray.
