Hi my name is Edgar, 22 years old. Been playing for 15 years and still playing in the APSL. Started at FC Harlem by the age of 8 until 15. Trained under Chelsea coaches.

"I am so grateful that Sofive Soccer Center is in my neck of the woods. This is definitely a quality operation. The facility is very impressive. Jeremiah has been a part of different Soccer clubs in the past. I have to say the coaching and attention he gets from Coach Rez is special and keeps us coming back. We have not experienced this before. Coach Rez has a unique gift of encouraging and motivating the kids to do their very best while teaching skills and technique necessary for success. For many coaching is a job. For Coach Rez it seems to be a passion. He is definitely an asset to Sofive. Thanks, Sofive for looking for the best for our children and community.

Hi, my name is Jonathan Saraga and I'm a New York City-based trumpeter, flugelhornist, composer, arranger and educator. I’ve been performing, recording, and competing around the world for over two decades, frequenting Canada, the Caribbean, Central America, Europe, Asia, the U.S. My trumpet playing appears in over 230 YouTube videos and on more than 30 albums, including many that are Grammy-nominated or Grammy-winning. My playing, compositions and musical research have also received 35 competitive recognitions from 25 national and international organizations, and my work has engaged with audiences in more than 500 cities across nearly 70 countries and close to 100 universities. My ultimate goal as an educator is to guide you toward the realization of your potential. Our learning environment will nurture a personalized process of self-discovery through my guidance, as opposed to a one-size-fits-all system of dictation for how you should or should not develop and/or perceive material. I see each interaction with a student as a sacred opportunity to help facilitate realization, regardless of magnitude, and I have dedicated myself to refining my abilities as a musician and teacher, to that end. I am confident that through our lessons, I will not only help you become better at hearing, internalizing, and expressing music, but that I will guide you in developing your own personal musical voice and direction.
