Master the fundamentals
Private & small-group soccer coaching for boys and girls ages 4–18. Spanish-trained, focused on the real skills that make a player — not flashy tricks they'll never use.
Hi, I'm Saad — the kids call me Coach Jay.
I grew up in Spain, in and around Badalona, learning the game the way it's taught there — under professional mentors and playing in clubs like CF Badalona. More than 15 years on the pitch, plus over 4 years formally studying the sport: hundreds of hours breaking down how young players actually develop.
I spent 2 years coaching kids in Badalona and Bufalà before bringing that European approach to Moraga. I'm 19, I have my own car, and I come to you — so training fits your family's week.
Real skills. Built around your child.
I don't teach flashy tricks kids will never use in a real game. I build the fundamentals — first touch, passing, movement and decision-making — through dynamic, specialized sessions designed around each player's stage and needs.
Cognitive development
Reading the game, decision-making and game intelligence — trained from the very first sessions, not left to chance.
Motor development
Coordination, balance and body control, built specifically for each child's stage of physical growth.
Fundamentals first
First touch, control, passing and movement before anything fancy — the skills they'll actually use every match.
Built around each player
Every child is different. Sessions adapt to each player's needs, pace and goals — guiding them through the early, formative stage.
Boys & girls, ages 4 to 18
From a child's very first touch to competitive teenage players — with special focus on the early stage, when good habits are formed.
First steps
Falling in love with the ball — coordination, balance and fun in every session.
Building blocks
Core fundamentals and real game understanding that hold up under pressure.
Competitive edge
Sharpening technique, decision-making and intensity for competitive play.
I come to your local field
Based in Moraga and happy to travel across the surrounding East Bay. I have my own car, so I can meet you at your local park, field or school — wherever works best for your child.
Own transport — flexible scheduling that fits around school, clubs and family life.
