Hi there, I am Coach Jenny, founder of Rise Soccer Training in Oakland. I moved from England in 2003 to coach and play soccer in the US. I have played and worked with many companies, teams and schools over the years and with children of all ages and abilities. I hold a UEFA B coaching license and I have had a lot of coaching work in different sports. I look forward to meeting with you.
"Coach Jenny was wonderful with my son. She made the session fun while still focusing on skills and confidence. He felt comfortable right away and is excited to continue training. Highly recommend for any child looking to improve.
