Powered by GoogleLove love love Coach Ray. I highly recommend his classes. My son has been going to Ray for a while now. Between the classes and private training sessions, his skills have increased significantly. Ray also seems to find a way to connect with my son, who is a perfectionist to his core, and can be very hard on himself. Ray comes down to his level and gets him to get his head back in the game. Great energy for all these young kids as well.
Coach Ray has been an incredible soccer coach for my kids. He gives amazing one-on-one attention to each player, making sure they truly understand what they’re doing and helping them improve in every session. He’s extremely patient with all the kids—no matter their age or skill level—and you can tell he genuinely cares about their progress and confidence. What I also appreciate is how open he is to learning and growing as a coach. He’s always looking for new techniques and training methods to make practices more effective and fun. My kids absolutely love working with him and always look forward to training days. Overall, Coach Ray has been a huge positive influence both on and off the field, and I can’t recommend him enough.
Coach Ray is an outstanding soccer coach who truly cares about his players’ growth, both on and off the field. His passion for the game is clear in every practice and match. He’s dedicated, organized, and always focused on helping each child improve their skills while still keeping the game fun and exciting. What makes Coach Ray stand out is the balance he brings to his coaching style.

He takes the time to get to know each player personally their strengths, weaknesses, and what motivates them and adjusts his approach accordingly. The kids really respect him and respond so well to his energy and positive attitude. He constantly reminds them about teamwork, good sportsmanship, and effort over perfection. You can tell he genuinely wants every child to feel confident and proud of their progress. Overall, Coach Ray creates an environment where kids not only learn soccer skills but also build confidence, discipline, and a love for the game. We feel so lucky to have him coaching our kid!
Coach Ray is an exceptional mentor who truly understands how to connect with kids. His coaching style is both engaging and effective- he combines group instruction with personalized guidance, helping each child grow in skill and confidence. Through his experience and leadership, Coach Ray teaches not just soccer but also decision-making and maturity on the field. The level of play at Soro is impressive, offering just the right mix of challenge and support for kids to thrive. I wholeheartedly recommend SoroFutebol Academy to any kid looking for a positive, skill-building soccer experience for their child.
Ray’s Soro Academy completely changed my son’s approach to Soccer. He’s more confident in his abilities on the field and is able to make quicker decisions that lead to great team play. Since starting with Soro, my son has gone from starting on the bench to being a starter on his competitive team! Ray is an amazing coach who helps kids find their inner confidence by encouraging and challenging them to be the best that they can be on and off the field!
