Private Soccer Training in Fresno and Clovis

One-on-one coaching for players U8 to U14, built around a 60-day program your player runs at home between sessions. First session is a $20 evaluation.

Start with an evaluation, not a sales pitch

The first session is $20 and it is an evaluation. Your player trains, I watch, and you leave with a written assessment: 41 items across four categories, scored. Most parents have never seen their kid’s game broken down that way.

Twenty dollars is deliberately low. You should not have to commit to a program before you know whether I am any good with your kid, and I should not have to talk you into it. One evaluation per player.

How the training actually works

Most private training sells you an hour a week and stops there. An hour a week does not change a player. What changes a player is what they do the other six days.

So the sessions are not the program. The program is a 60-day plan your player runs on their own: daily touches, a warm-up, a skill block, and a shooting block. The first block alone is a thousand touches. The sessions are where I check the work, fix what is breaking down, and set the next block.

That means the hour is spent coaching, not filling time. And it means your player is building the habit of training without anyone watching, which is the only habit that survives past age fourteen.

Who this is for

Players U8 to U14, at any level. It tends to fit three kids in particular:

  • The rec player who wants to make a club team and does not know what the gap is.
  • The club player who is on the roster but not getting touches, and is quietly losing confidence because of it.
  • The kid who used to love it and has started dreading games.

Where and when

Sessions run in the Fresno and Clovis area. I will give you the field when we talk, so we can pick the one that makes the most sense for where you are. I can also travel to you within reason.

Evenings and weekends. Tell me what your week looks like and we will work around it.

Who is coaching your kid

I am Roberto. I coached youth soccer for years, and I wrote the program I train from. It came out of twenty years of trying to answer one question: why do so many talented kids stop playing?

I also sent my own son to an academy in Barcelona for a year, so I have been the parent writing the check and wondering whether it was worth it.

I am not going to tell you your kid is going pro. Most of what I do is fix the gap between how hard a kid is working and how much that work is actually giving them back.

Questions parents ask

What ages do you train?
U8 through U14. Below U8 the returns on private training are low and I would rather you spend the money on a ball and let them play.
Do you train groups?
Right now this is one-on-one only. Two siblings together is fine, ask when you call.
What does my player need to bring?
A ball, cleats, shin guards, and water. That is it.
What if we do the evaluation and it is not a fit?
Then you paid twenty dollars and you got a written assessment out of it. There is nothing to cancel and no pressure from me.
How soon will we see a difference?
Touch and comfort on the ball tend to move first, usually inside a few weeks. Game decisions take longer. Anyone who promises you a timeline is guessing.
