Charleston
Private and small-group sessions for young players across the Charleston area, focused on the skills that actually show up on game day.
Charleston has a strong youth soccer community, with clubs, rec leagues, high school programs and a professional team in the Charleston Battery. I came up through it myself: I played for Charleston Soccer Club until I was 14 and now play for Surf.
My sessions add what team practice often can’t: individual reps. More touches, faster decisions, sharper finishing and the confidence to try things in a game. Sessions happen at parks and fields that are convenient for your family.
How it works
About ten minutes of quick touches to get the feet going. No standing around.
The main focus of the day, such as first touch, 1v1 moves or finishing, with lots of reps and quick feedback.
We put the skill under pressure with defenders, time limits and decisions, just like a real match.
A fun finisher, then one or two things to practise at home before next time.
Local knowledge
Club tryouts in the Charleston area are competitive, and the players who stand out are usually the ones who are comfortable on the ball under pressure. That’s exactly what we train: first touch, 1v1s and quick decisions.
Volunteering with the Charleston Battery has shown me how pros train: the basics, done fast, every day. I bring that standard to younger players in a way that’s fun and positive.
