About
My name is Peja Ilic and I have played for 5 years in Serbia’s Division 1. I moved to the United States in 2012 and played for the Columbus Crew and Virginia Royals. I record personal training sessions and can provide feedback after each session.
I love to connect with soccer players and ensure we work on the things they need in order to be a more complete player. I work on ball control with both feet, dribbling, shooting, finishing, headers, coordination as well as balance and fitness. We can also work on the tactical side of the game and talk about certain positions. I am available for my players 24/7 in case they want support, motivation or just simple advice.

Frequently asked questions
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I currently have USSF "C" soccer coaching license as well as a Level 2 Futsal Diploma
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
My pricing is $75/session. The session is 1 hour long but I am definitely willing to spend more time and talk to the parent/player and give feedback. I am open to discounts if we do group sessions (3,4 players).
How did you get started teaching?
I have played soccer for a long time and I still do. The soccer game has given me an identity and a place where I feel the most comfortable. I think giving my passion to young players and seeing them grow is the best job I can ask for. I enjoy every second of it.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with players as young as 7 years old and now coaching 16-year-olds.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
They should think about whether the coach is reliable, professional, trustworthy, and has the knowledge to teach/coach their kid.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
They should ask about the coach's experience, whether the coach can travel to a certain location, what equipment is coaching using, and what is the coach's practice plan.
