More About Coach Zarek
Have worked with many youth age groups ranging from U-15 to U-6. My professional career has allowed me to reach many different age groups and all genders.
I am a professional soccer player for the Portland Timbers. I'm currently in my 7th year professional and have played in MLS as well as in Europe.
I am a defender by trait but have played all positions growing up. Technique in dribbling and passing are things I pride myself on as well as my defensive technique.

My daughter loved her session and felt like she grew so much as a player in just an hour. Coach Zarek was fabulous with her and really met her at her level to help her progress.
Joe (CoachUp client)
Coach Zarek is a great coach. He obviously knows the game very well and he sincerely is interested in improving the student's skills. He is approachable, enthusiastic, and manages the classes professionally. My son already has learned numerous key fundamentals and new skills that make him a better player. I would not hesitate a second recommending him to others that want to take there game to a new level.
