"Alex has been a great help with private lessons for my youngest daughter. Not only has her confidence grown but her technique, setup, footwork, and power has increased. Because of Alex's mentoring and his ability to tap into what drives her, he has been able to focus on exactly what she needs to improve as an overall soccer player. In fact lately, she has been asked to play with a higher level team for competition. In summary, the technical drills Alex has her performing are paying off in her games and she is improving to be able to compete with higher competition. JD"

Coach Rafael has not only gotten a 1v1 technical sessions setup weekly for our son, but he's gotten some additional 3v3's together for some tactical training. We've noticed a difference in our son in the short amount of time he's been with them. Thanks to Coach Alex, Coach Emilio, Coach Gustavo, and Coach Alfi for working with the kids in this great program. My favorite thing about Nola Sports Center is when it rains we don't have to cancel the training session. We can "
