Play Soccer at Beach Chalet Fields

Bio: Hi I'm Derek! I recently graduated from UC Santa Cruz, where I played four years of college soccer as a winger and an outside back. Since graduation, I have continued to stay involved with the sport both as a fan (come on Arsenal) and by playing in the SFSFL and other pick-up games around the city. As a coach, I use my experience with technical drills I have found most effective during my 16+ years as a player, and shape my sessions around whatever skills you'd like to work on, whether that be finishing, defending, technique, etc.

Bio: With over 15 years of soccer instruction, I cultivate players' skills and passion for the game. I focus on fundamentals, strategy, and personalized development. My goal is to empower athletes to excel on and off the field.

Bio: Growing up, my family didn’t have the means to fund my soccer journey beyond recreational. Despite this, I still managed to earn my way onto my extremely competitive high school varsity team through hard work and discipline. In college, I began coaching kids 2-18 years old both privately and on recreational + competitive teams. I have years of experience working with youth, coaching soccer, and a Bachelors Degree in Kinesiology which means I emphasize proper motor development and injury prevention in my instruction. My goal is for children to have a healthy, lifelong relationship with the greatest sport in the world!

Bio: Fueling a passion for football is what I do best. My 10+ years of experience have taught me consistently working on the details provides foundation for athletes to produce at a high level. Let's unlock your potential on the field together.
