Book Private Soccer Lessons with Coach Silvina
I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and like a good Argentinean, soccer is my passion. I have experience coaching in high-level clubs like Penn Fusion, Lower Merion, Philadelphia Ukrainians, and Haverford Soccer Club. I started playing soccer more than 30 years ago and still play in a woman league every Sunday. I'm also a soccer referee at college level. Soccer is more than a game, it is a platform for personal growth and the development of confidence and self-esteem. Players will learn not only the Fundamentals of soccer but also how to set goals, push their limits, and push beyond their comfort zone.

Best coach I ever had:
Growing up in Argentina, soccer was a male sport. I was the only female playing in my school but I didn't care. My first coach was Rafael Hernandez and he did teach me how to keep fighting for my dreams. Soccer was my passion and he always told me that "nobody could stop me from playing soccer even if I was the only girl on my team".
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I started playing soccer in Argentina when I was 6 years old. At that time, soccer was only for boys. Growing up, I was the only female in my club but I didn't care. The passion that always had for this game dint stop me.
If you always try your best and give everything that you have for this sport, nothing is impossible. Mistakes are also big part of a learning process. One of the best teachers we can have is our own mistakes. This is why, you never are going to see me upset or screaming to players when they make one.
I believe that to become an amazing soccer player, you need to use your brain first.

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.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
