More About Coach Rufael
Soccer coach experienced in training athletes across all age groups, focusing on skill development, tactics, and fostering sportsmanship. Dedicated to passing my experience to the next generation.
Lifelong soccer player with extensive experience, including collegiate play at PGCC and current participation in semi-professional Division 1 soccer in Maryland. Deeply passionate about the sport, I bring a rich background and a dedicated approach to every aspect of the game.
In our one-hour sessions, we begin with a dynamic warm-up, then move into targeted drills that vary based on your position—defenders work on positioning and tackling, midfielders focus on ball control and distribution, while forwards practice finishing and movement off the ball. I incorporate game scenarios to apply these skills in a tactical context, providing immediate feedback. The session ends with a cool-down and a review of key takeaways to ensure continuous improvement and understanding of the sport's nuances.

Coach Rufael was all set up and ready to go well before it was time to train! He was knowledgeable and taught with intention. My daughter enjoyed their session and said he was a “great coach”. We’re
looking forward to the next one.
