I’m Felipe Arruda, a youth soccer coach and former NCAA Division I athlete with a strong background in high-level competition. I also played in USL League Two for Brave SC in 2023, winning both the Southeast Division and the Southern Conference titles. Originally from Brazil, where I trained in top academies, I bring a mix of technical knowledge, discipline, and passion for developing players. My goal is to help athletes grow with confidence, improve their skills, and enjoy the game every step of the way.
I focus on developing strong fundamentals first touch, ball control, dribbling, passing, movement, and decision-making based on the athlete’s specific position. I help players build confidence, improve their soccer IQ, and understand how to apply their skills in real game situations. My goal is to make you technically stronger, tactically smarter, and mentally sharper every session.
Sessions start with a warm-up and coordination work, then progress into technical drills focusing on ball mastery, footwork, passing patterns, dribbling moves, and finishing. All drills are adapted to the athlete’s specific position to make the training more realistic and effective. We end with game-like situations to apply the skills learned. Every session is fun, structured, and personalized to each athlete.

The best coach I ever had was Di Bernardo from Monroe College. He pushed me with high standards while truly believing in me. He taught me discipline, responsibility, and how to grow on and off the field — lessons I carry into my own coaching every day.
I care deeply about development and confidence. I’m patient, positive, and committed to helping each athlete reach their potential. Parents can expect professionalism, clear communication, and a coach who works hard to help their child improve and enjoy the game.

Meet your coach in-person or virtually, and start chasing down your goals!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you find yourself needing to cancel or adjust your booking within 24 hours of your purchase, just let us know. We'll provide a refund - no questions asked. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're here to support your learning journey.
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.
