More About Coach Sebastiano
Head of Goalkeepers Coaches at MetOval Academy in Queens, NYC, and at Manhattan Kickers.
In Italy I have worked for the A.s.d. Cheraschese, an F.C. Juventus Academy. As Head of Goalkeeper Coaches I led a team of 3 people. We worked with different age groups: “Primi Calci” with kids 5-8 years old, “Scuola Calcio” for 9-12 years old and “Settore Giovanile” for 13-17 years old. I coordinated the practices of younger goalies and I was training the older boys.
I’ve played soccer as a goalkeeper for over 15 years in Italy at semi-professional level. I won some 5th and 6th division championships in Italy. My greatest success as a coach was sending some goalkeepers to play in professional teams like F.C. Brescia, F.C. Juventus and F.C. Cuneo.
I am a strong communicator, I think the two most important things are to be always up to date and listen to the sensations of the goalkeepers I train. In the first session with a new goalie I try to understand his needs and his shortcomings. Then I work hard on technique and coordination.

Client Reviews
Orlando (CoachUp client)
Coach Sebastiano is a very knowledgeable coach who quickly picked up on my son's abilities and areas that need to be strengthened. My son felt very motivated and comfortable with him and his coaching style. Also, he was professional and very patient with my son. I would highly recommend him as a soccer coach.
Alessandro Calcia, Juventus F.C. coach (Testimonial)
I worked with Sebastiano at Chisola F.C., Juventus Academy, he is one of the best goalkeeper coaches I have worked with. He is very attentive to the characteristics of the goalkeeper. He works to strengthen their strengths and to improve weaknesses. Sebastiano has a very kind way of communicating with children but he also manages to transmit grit and work culture to older goalies.
Roberto Olivero, President of Cheraschese F.C., Juventus Academy, Italy (Testimonial)
Sebastiano worked with us for six years. Very passionate about his work, he allowed some of our goalkeepers to improve their skills. Sebastiano's best qualities are his seriousness and professionalism. Since the early days he has been available to the needs of the other coaches, listening to their indications and collaborating with them. In recent years he has coordinated the work of the other goalkeeper coaches.
