ABOUT US

YESA was established in 2008 to promote your individual player development, which is often missing from group coaching schemes. During a typical team practice, players do not get the individualized attention needed to actually improve their soccer technical abilities, soccer IQ, and the personalized coaching needed for their development.

This is where YESA comes in!

We utilize individual and small-group coaching methods, in addition to skill-targeted training sessions; designed to improve the overall soccer player development in a fun, effective and safe environment.

OUR FOUNDER

Coach Yahga

"Being from the caribbean island of Dominica, soccer has been a pillar of strength in my life and has been instrumental in my growth as a person. It has opened many doors for me throughout the years, and is what brought me to the United States; paving the way for me to obtain an education and career. From such experiences, I have gained incredible insight into the possibilities and opportunities soccer can provide for those who are willing to work hard to achieve their goals. I feel blessed and thankful to be able to do what I love (coaching) and share my lifelong passion for soccer, I hope you will join us!"
