James is an excellent soccer coach. He connected quickly with my son, demonstrates knowledge, skill , and leadership. He is a great role model and an excellent soccer coach. After one meeting, I saw a confidence boost and my son’s excitement ignited after a slow summer. Highly recommend!

Coach James is excellent at tailoring training to each player’s age, position, and skill level. His drills are unique and creative, and he brings a very organized, methodical approach to every session. Highly recommend for anyone looking to elevate their game.

Coach James has been an outstanding coach for both of my sons. Since training with him, I have seen noticeable improvement in their soccer skills and confidence. He is very kind, attentive, and genuinely cares about each players development. Coach James takes the time to work with the kids individually. I highly recommend Coach James to any family looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable soccer coach.

Thank you for your kind words. Both of your boys are extremely coachable and come to every session over the last four months ready to work.

Excellent coach who focuses on fine-tuning the skills that actually matter on the field. Caleb loved working with him and saw noticeable improvement after just a few sessions.

Caleb has been improving a lot especially in ball control and finishing. I’m excited to see him bring these skills into league play next month!

My son (9) has really enjoyed working on his soccer skills with Coach James. We are only 5 sessions in and have noticed a huge improvement in his ball handling skills and overall comfort and confidence controlling the ball during his team soccer practices.

Great to hear that you noticed this much improvement so fast. We are just getting started with what we can achieve in this program 💪🏻

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer private and small group soccer training in South Tampa. Every new athlete begins with a one on one evaluation to assess technical level, movement, confidence, and development needs. Ongoing programs are available in private or group formats based on fit and goals. Message me for current openings and rates.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We start with a consultation to understand the player’s age, level, goals, and schedule. Then we complete an evaluation session. From there, I recommend the best training path, whether private sessions or a small group environment, with a clear development plan.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have years of experience as a player, coach, and trainer. My background includes high school and club coaching, private development training, and working with youth players across multiple age groups focused on technical growth and confidence.
