 Steve Samba Soccer - Brazilian Style Soccer                      
Steve Long
Steve was born in Africa and grew up playing soccer with friends in the dirt streets of Brazil. After graduating from Wheaton College, Steve played in 1979 and 1980 on the US Olympic team, completing a 32-nation European tour and playing some of the best soccer of his life.

Since then, Steve has also played for the Chicago Sting (NASL), the
Memphis Americans (MISL), the Las Vegas Americans (MISL), and the Jackson Rockers (MISL indoor). He holds a USSF “B” National Coaching License.

Steve has been training kids around the world—from African refugees in Portugal, to gang kids in Miami, to local American kids who hope to hone their skills and improve their game. Steve’s philosophy is to improve by applying skills in actual game settings. He teaches plenty of fun, samba-style, Brazilian moves and gives players plenty of time to try them out in three-on-three or five-on-five games.

                                  
Steve currently offers trainings through Mansfield Soccer Association, Mansfield Samba FC, and runs private trainings, futsal, and a Homeschool PE program.
