You want a coach with real playing experience, not just a coaching certificate.
Your player is starting out and needs fundamentals built the right way, from day one.
You want training that builds confidence off the field, not just skill on it.

Frequently asked questions
What ages does Soro Futbol Academy train?
Programs span from young beginners through competitive high school age players. Private Training flexes to any age or level, and Group Training places players by experience across four tiers, from Pre-Academy through Platinum.
Do I need club experience to start?
No. Private Training and Pre-Academy level Group Training are both built for players just starting out. No prior club experience required.
What's the difference between Private and Group Training?
Private Training is 1-on-1, built around your player's specific goals, and scheduled directly with Coach Ray based on availability. Group Training is technical work in a weekly class, with players placed by ability, starting with a free trial before you enroll in an ongoing session.
Where are sessions held?
All training happens at North County Soccer Park in Poway, CA, the same facility that hosts SISL and the broader North County Soccer Park community.
How do I get started?
Request a Private Training session, ask for a Group Training free trial, or ask Coach Ray a question first if you're not sure which path fits.
