CR Development Academy

About

Hi, my name is Chris and I would like to help you advance to the next level of your game! I come with over 11 years of experience training and tailoring programs for soccer players. I’ve worked with all ages and at multiple levels of the game. My playing experience includes time spent playing at academies overseas such as Estudiantes de La Plata and Cagliari Calcio. I coach locally for BVB International Academy.

In the first training session, I assess the trainee to develop customized exercises. I then work with them to progressively improve skill set. Fitness, fundamentals, change of speed/direction, and on-ball skills will be prioritized. Building instincts, handling on-ball pressure, and defending will also be worked on.

Coach Chris is enthusiastic and incredibly knowledgeable in soccer training. He is a clear communicator. The technique he is teaching my son has given him useful long-lasting skills in a short period of time. It has been a very positive experience.

Chris is great. I tried about four different coaches and Chris was the best. He is professional, understands the game and connects with my son in a way that motivates him to practice and improve. Highly recommend!
