About your soccer coach
With 17 years of experience in soccer, I bring a deep love for the game and a player-first mindset to every session. I’ve competed at high levels throughout my career, and now I’m passionate about helping the next generation not only master the game—but move with confidence. My background in soccer and running mechanics allows me to train athletes in both skill and speed, with a focus on technique, injury prevention, and building self-belief. I know what it means to find your identity through sport. I coach with heart, energy, and purpose creating a space where athletes feel seen, challenged, and empowered. Whether we’re working on footwork, sprint form, or mental grit, I’m here to bring out your best!

Coach Kassidy was professional, focused, and had a very effective series of drills and activities that seemed age appropriate. We’re looking forward to the next lesson!
Harley
“It was really cool having a woman coach who understands what it’s like playing with boys. She helped me get more confident as a striker by working on my finishing, first touch, and how to be strong on the ball. I learned how to make better runs and create space. I feel like I’m becoming a smarter and more powerful attacker.”
Zay
“Coach made it easy to learn while still pushing me to get better each session. We worked on footwork, dribbling under pressure, and how to make faster decisions. It was fun but also felt like I was training for a real game. Got better at using skill moves and turning with the ball. Definitely helped my confidence.”
John
“Training helped me a lot with staying calm under pressure and knowing where to go with the ball. We worked on switching the field, scanning before receiving, and connecting passes to build out of the back. I’m starting to understand the game more and make smarter decisions. Every session made me feel more confident as a defensive mid.
Levi
Fun environment to work in while also having a hardworking session. Engaging with student and teaching real game situations. Went over film to see different forms or running and shooting so we can correct it!
Logan
Training helped me become a more confident center back, especially when I have the ball at my feet. We worked on controlling under pressure, switching the field, and making smart passes out of the back. I also got pushed to get in better shape and play faster. Each session made me feel stronger and more prepared for game situations.”
