Real experiences. Real growth. A community built around helping athletes reach their full potential.
“SoCal Ballerz FA is some of the best training in SoCal. Coach Chato motivates you and pushes you in every aspect of the game. He helps you improve technically, but also focuses a lot on your decision making an understanding of the game at a higher level, which is where everyone wants to play. Overall, he’s more than just a trainer, he’s a mentor who helps you grow on and off the field. I would definitely rate his training a 5/5 and recommend it to anyone looking to take this game to the next level.

“Finding an effective soccer trainer for youth skills development can be challenging and Coach Edgar and Coach Liz’s program excels in combining fun and skill advancement. The sessions are creatively designed as games, allowing my kids to improve their technical skills- like footwork and dribbling- while enjoying themselves. They create a supportive environment which fosters individual growth without pressure, turning mistakes into valuable learning experiences. My kids leave practices energized and more confident, while their passion for soccer continues to grow. I highly recommend both Coach Liz and Coach Edgar as trainers for youth sports.

“I’ve known Coach Chato and Coach Liz for about 2.5 years, and they have helped me a lot as a player and as a person. They have always wanted the best for me and pushed me to keep developing and always work hard in whatever I do. they helped me prepare for playing college soccer at Westcliff University and now I’m playing at OCSC 2. I’m very thankful for everything they have done for me and continue to do. They are great coaches who truly care about their players and want to see them succeed. I would definitely recommend SoCal Ballerz FA to anyone looking to improve their game and become a better person.

“I honestly was nervous to start training since I was coming back from an injury and feel outta shape, but Coach Chato made me feel comfortable and accepted from day one. He’s super personable, motivating, and genuinely invest in your goals, honestly felt like a mentor to me by the end. Quality of training made me want to go back every time and if there was something specific I wanted to work on, he’d take the time got it, even followed up with me after sessions. Had a lot of fun and would definitely recommend training with SoCal Ballerz!
