Uriah’s Personal Soccer Training
About
If you want to know us, then you must know our story, as it defines who we are.
La Famille is a family owned and operated business and we treat our clients and players as such. My brother and I grew up playing the beautiful game since the age of 3. We love the game, we live the game, and we believe obsession beats talent every single time! We’ve shared this love for over 25 years!
Many years later, La Famille was founded with the purpose of providing note-worthy training to all ages and skill levels and to have players learn, know, and understand the skills and lifestyle habits that will lead to success on and off the field.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I focus on three main areas of skill development to take a player to the next level: Trapping, passing, and dribbling. These skill sets will not change, however, as kids/players progress new skills and drill patterns will change to continually challenge the individual. Ball mastery, speed, shooting, crossing, weak foot, positional skills, etc. will all be utilized to enhance the player's game. Furthermore, I will help develop an athletes physicality, mental, emotional, and their techniques.
