Our coaching goal is to provide individualized training and teach ball management to give the player confidence and composure over the ball. Soccer is a game of fundamentals. Whether the student is a field player or goalkeeper all players need to be able to shoot with confidence, dribble around opponents, perform short passes with accuracy, and possess ball control. The player having confidence and composure over the ball will maximize their enjoyment of the game.
Our coaches' enthusiasm for training youth players is evident to the student and their parents. This enthusiasm is translated in a positive atmosphere to our player. Many teachers of soccer have abundant soccer knowledge. Many can effectively teach students this soccer knowledge. The difficulty comes in motivating the student to learn by absorbing the knowledge. We are experts in creating an environment where the player not only desires to learn but they become consumed by the passion we bring to the learning experience.
We are constantly learning ourselves from the international soccer community, coaches, professional players and our student players. We exist on a never-ending continuum of soccer information. Attempting to synthesize the most efficient and beneficial methodologies that we can interpret and translate effectively to our student players.

Los Altos mom --
"The one unique characteristic Albertin has that I've never seen in another coach is that he genuinely wants every player he coaches to sincerely LOVE to play soccer. He doesn't just want them to achieve the highest level of play they can, he wants them to truly enjoy the sport of soccer as much as he does ..."
U11G --
"Albertin encourages me to do my best ... he knows so much about soccer. Anytime I have a question, he can answer it and tell me why too. He can also do all the things he teaches us and asks us to do. This is very helpful because he sets a good example for us."
Los Altos dad --
"Albertin is the best coach (he has) ever seen, in ANY sport, at ANY level."
U11G --
"Albertin gives me ways to improve and encourages me. He doesn't care if you make a mistake, he just wants you to win the ball back and be aggressive."
Los Altos parents --
"Albertin not only is an incredible soccer player and excellent role model, but he also has an extremely strong bond with children and relates to them better than any other coach we have known.... How lucky we are that the girls see the role Albertin's family plays in his life and the lives of our girls. What other coach brings these 'life lessons' to the field!"
U11G --
"Albertin always has fun practices and that is a special bonus. I know that, when I go to soccer clinic or practice, I will be improving my soccer skills and I know I will have FUN!"
Los Altos mom --
"Albertin is a phenomenal soccer player and coach. He is a terrific role model for the girls. He has tremendous energy and enthusiam for the sport and he shares that with the girls. Practices are so much fun that the girls never realize how hard they are working and the skills they are learning. He uses humor to teach and never belittles the players. He is fair and the girls know where they stand with him. Yet he is a fierce competitor and challenges the girls to do their best. These are the traits the girls will benefit from in all that they do in life. We have been a soccer family for 13 years; Albertin is the best of the best!"
U10G --
"Albertin is a great coach because he doesn't take everything so seriously. He teaches with a fun and enthusiastic attitude.... He really cheers me on when I play in a game. It makes me feel great when he compliments me...Albertin is always very supportive and nice no matter what happens."
Los Altos dad --
"...he has a deep, passionate love for the beautiful game of soccer. He is wonderfully skilled at the game, understands and appreciates it, and knows how to teach it. His ability to communicate with his players is exceptional, and his teams display not only an amazing array of soccer skills but cohesiveness in terms of strategy and teamwork as well. His soccer teams are truly well trained, well taught, and well coached."
U10G --
"For some reason, you always want to impress Albertin.... This is probably because Albertin believes in you. He treats everyone equally, has no favorites, and gives everyone an equal chance."
Los Altos mom --
"On a very personal level, I can vouch for Albertin's value both as a coach and as a mentor. I have 2 daughters who've played for Albertin for nearly 4 years now. Both have developed and blossomed into beautiful soccer players who not only know how to play the game, know how the game should be played but also genuinely love to play the game. They spend their free time juggling a soccer ball. They have become passionate about soccer."
