By embracing our "rage" in a controlled and disciplined manner, we create a dynamic and inspiring atmosphere for both players and spectators alike.

Latin-American Coaching Methodologies:

Combining Brazilian and Mexican traditional soccer training techniques can create a unique blend of styles that fosters skill development, creativity, and tactical awareness. Key elements of these training methods include:

Brazilian Training Techniques:

* Focus on ball mastery, dribbling, and individual flair.
* Emphasis on creativity, improvisation, and 1v1 skills.
* Development of agility, speed, and coordination through various footwork exercises.
* Encouraging players to express themselves on the field and embrace the "Jogo Bonito" (beautiful game).

Mexican Training Techniques:

* Emphasizing tactical awareness, defensive organization, and teamwork.
* Incorporating structured microcycles to address specific areas of improvement.
* Developing strong passing and possession-based play.
* Cultivating mental strength, discipline, and resilience in athletes.

By blending these two distinct yet complementary approaches, coaches can create a well-rounded training program for success.

Our Core Values & Mission:

At our club, we believe that the development of our athletes extends far beyond the soccer field. While we are dedicated to honing their skills and helping them reach their full potential as players, we are equally committed to nurturing their growth as individuals and promoting positive character development.

We understand that the lessons learned through sports—such as teamwork, perseverance, and discipline—are valuable tools that can be applied in all aspects of life. That's why we prioritize not just physical training and technical mastery, but also emotional intelligence, empathy, and good sportsmanship.

Our club strives to create an environment where young athletes can flourish both on and off the field, becoming well-rounded individuals who contribute positively to their communities. We are more than just a soccer club—we are a family that supports and encourages our players as they embark on their journey to becoming exceptional athletes on and off the soccer pitch.

About the Manager | Co-Head Coach:

"My love for soccer began in the heart of Brazil, where I grew up playing barefooted in the slums with boundless passion and determination, even in the face of adversity. These early experiences instilled in me a deep appreciation for the sport and the values it teaches us, such as perseverance, teamwork, and resilience. As a head coach, I am dedicated to improving players' skills both on and off the pitch. I believe that soccer is not just about winning games, but also about helping individuals grow and develop important life skills. My mission is to create an environment where players can excel in their sport, while also learning to apply the values of teamwork, discipline, and resilience in their personal lives, friendships, relationships, and careers. Through my coaching, I strive to help players become better athletes as they can be and so far we all have been very successful."
