Adam

Level: Beginner•Lessons taken: 14

We couldn’t be more grateful for Coach Sofwan and the incredible experience our son Adam had over his 14 beginner soccer lessons. From the very first session, Coach brought energy, patience, and a deep understanding of how to work with young players. Adam not only learned the fundamentals of soccer—like dribbling, passing, and positioning—but also gained so much confidence, discipline, and love for the game. Coach made every lesson fun, structured, and age-appropriate, always striking the perfect balance between teaching and encouragement. What really stood out was how well Coach connected with Adam, motivating him in a way that felt personal and inspiring. We’ve seen real growth, not just in skills but in attitude and teamwork. Thank you, Coach, for creating such a positive foundation for Adam’s soccer journey. We highly recommend you to any family looking for a truly passionate and professional coach!

Youth players

Working with kidsWhen coaching kids in soccer, it’s important to keep sessions fun, energetic, and simple. Use playful games and imagination to teach skills—for example, turning drills into adventures like escaping lava or chasing treasure. Keep instructions short, clear, and visual by showing instead of explaining too much. Use small-sided games like 3v3 to ensure every child gets involved and touches the ball often. Kids have short attention spans, so switch activities every 10–15 minutes and keep things fast-paced. Match their energy with positive encouragement, praise effort, and create a supportive atmosphere with high-fives and smiles. Incorporate fun warm-ups and movement games to develop coordination, and always use age-appropriate equipment like smaller balls and goals. End each session with a fun game or silly challenge to leave them excited for the next practice, and don’t forget to teach values like teamwork, sharing, and listening along the way.

Working with teenagersWhen working with teenagers in soccer, the focus should shift toward developing technique, tactical understanding, and personal responsibility while still keeping the sessions engaging and supportive. Teen players benefit from structured training with clear objectives, game-like scenarios, and opportunities to think critically about positioning, decision-making, and teamwork. Communication is key—treat them with respect, listen to their input, and explain the “why” behind drills to keep them motivated and invested. While they’re capable of more intense physical training and competitive play, it’s important to maintain a positive environment that balances challenge with encouragement, especially during their confidence-building years. Including warm-ups, skill drills, small-sided games, and full scrimmages with coaching feedback will help them grow both individually and as part of a team.

What you need to bringEach student should bring a properly inflated soccer ball, water bottle, shin guards, cleats (or athletic shoes), and wear comfortable athletic clothing. Sunscreen and a hat are also recommended for outdoor sessions.

What I can bringI will bring all necessary coaching equipment, including soccer balls, cones, pinnies, training plans, and a first-aid kit. I will also bring energy, enthusiasm, and a positive attitude to create a fun and safe learning environment for the players.
