Book Private Soccer Lessons with Coach Cesar
Many people think soccer is about having fun. While I agree with that, it is also about getting better. It is also a simple sport to play when done right. In my many years of playing competitive soccer and sports all across the board, I have learned that sports but soccer especially has many life lessons to teach and that is what I coached as well as soccer. It can also be a great coping mechanism through life. That is the beauty of this sport and that is what I hope to share with upcoming athletes and soccer players.

About Me:
I have played soccer since I was five years old, and absolutely fell in love with it. I trained in rec, then went straight to Seattle United. I was captain of that team and I was a centerback. Then I needed a new team, and I decided to play up a year with Seattle Celtic. We had a Barca like talented team, but lost in the final. I then went to crossfire select where I still played up a year, and won a few tournaments there, and also got offered to play crossfire premiere, but I wanted to stay true to my commitment to my select and my family could not afford Premiere.
How I can help you improve your game:
For me, it's all about repetition. The more reps someone gets in the easier it is for that learning curve to hit. It might seem basic and tedious, but it is well worth it. Things will become second nature.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
First, stretching is something that is needed before every training. No pulled muscles, no injuries and no pain for the future you. Second, being on time is late. Show up early. Then get a light jog in. Start with some touches on the ball. Step ups, roll overs, juggles, etc. Got to get used to the ball and how it feels on your foot. Then go through some dynamic drills. They will change with every session. Then do footwork with cones. Then ball control-I'm a huge fan of ball control. Then some turns with finishing. Then cool down and stretches again.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have been coaching sports for a long time. I coached boys middle school volleyball, high school girls volleyball, and for two years I have coached rec soccer for U12 boys. First season was a rebuilding year where we lost every game, but I have trained that team got more players and last season we lost zero games. All of those boys have a passion for the game, respect for coaches and parents, and are learning how to be young honorable teenagers.
Best coach I ever had:
My best coach was my rec coach. I have had amazing coaches, but Scott, my rec coach taught me almost everything I know, and he also pushed me to be at my best and helped me fight the mental battle that comes with soccer on the pitch.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am a very fun loving man with a burning passion for this sport. I respect it, but I also believe that this sport teaches honor, discipline, respect, grace and passion. Which in my eyes are life skills. I am very knowledgable, and I teach the basics first, see where the skill level is at, then I tailor trainings towards specific skills that need improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
What if I don't love the first lesson?
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you determine the coach isn't a good fit after your first lesson, let us know within 24 hours and you're eligible for a refund. We will also be happy to recommend another coach - be sure to contact our support team.
Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
AU was created by former collegiate and professional athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process and we proudly showcase a 10% acceptance rate, so you can trust you're training with the best.
