From Coach Rafael

We train in East Pasadena. You are always welcome to pull up a chair, watch a session, and see exactly how we coach. We don’t hide our methodology, and we don’t put on a show. What you see on a random Tuesday is exactly what we do every day.

The game is the game. Come see if it’s the right fit for your player.

No. 1

Book a Trial Day

The starting line. We don't do "free demos." We do a real session where we evaluate your player’s technique, insight, personality, and speed. You watch how we coach. We watch how they work. Then we tell you—honestly—where they belong.

No. 2

See the Schedule

We train Monday through Saturday. Group sessions, advanced groups, and privates. Find the times that work for your family's reality.

No. 3

Location & Field Details

We train on grass. Bring cleats, shin guards, a size 4 or 5 ball, and your own water. Parking is available right next to the field.

The FTBL standard

What to expect when you arrive

Punctuality

Sessions start on the minute. Players arrive 10 minutes early to get their boots laced and their minds right.

Intensity

We don’t run laps. We don’t stand in lines. Every minute is touches on the ball.

Honesty

We coach the detail. We will stop a drill to fix a bad first touch, and we will tell a player exactly what they did wrong—and how to fix it.
