So far my 13 year old son is enjoying his trainings with Coach Victor. He does a lot of drills that work on areas that need improvement. He listens to our input and includes that in his program. We're happy to work him. His soccer experience only helps my son get much better.

Coach Victor is great! He was very attentive to the growth areas that my son needed to work on, and patiently pushes him to try hard and improve.
He was flexible and accommodating with schedule, and was willing to come to a park that is right next to us.
