Sycamore Valley ParkSoccer Venue in Danville, CA

With over 28 years of soccer experience, I bring a lifelong passion for the game to every team I coach. I played competitively at Miramonte High School and have spent my life immersed in youth soccer—as both a player and a dedicated coach. My coaching philosophy centers around building strong fundamentals, fostering teamwork, and helping players develop confidence both on and off the field. Whether working with beginners or experienced players, I focus on creating a positive, disciplined, and high-energy environment where young athletes can grow and thrive. I don’t just coach the game—I build players who love it, live it, and leave it all on the field.

"Coach Kelbe is very adept in his ability of assessing a player and is able to create a training program that builds on progressions as you move along. Coach has definitely elevated my son's skillset in a short amount of time. One thing that stands out is the vast array of drills that coach is able to pull from to build skills in different ways and the instruction that goes along with it. This has given my son a better understanding of when or how to use certain skills in game situations.

It's a beautiful game, and I've spent the last decade sharing my love for soccer with aspiring athletes. My coaching style blends technical expertise with a fun, supportive environment where players can thrive. Let's work together to elevate your game!
