This is a great soccer program. The coaching and player/team development has been superior to anything we encouraged doing travel soccer. Better quality coaching at 50% the cost of travel soccer! Watch a professional game and then watch mylocalsoccer and travel teams of the same age. Youll find the mylocalsoccer team has a style of play that most resembles the pros.

Coach Victor is passionate about what he does; he is truly an expert when it comes to the game and to teaching the skill sets necessary for his students to excel. My son has improved tremendously under his tutelage in a very short period of time and I have seen the same from his other students. More importantly, my son is having fun and he always asks when his next session is. Coach Victor gives 100% and the kids really respond... he also makes sure he is explaining and teaching the why behind what they are doing so they have a better understanding of the game and are more invested in wanting to

Mylocalsoccer is definitely worth any soccer player's time. As a player my son is constantly challenged physically and mentally and shows improvement session after session. As a soccer parent, I am confident that my son is gaining the knowledge and skills he needs and every dollar is a dollar well spent! We have been part of Travel teams in 2 states, soccer and futsal, and have experienced both good and bad programs. This individual program is by far the best! Thanks Coach Victor and team!
