What Our Families are Saying About the Staff...
JAMES BECKMANN
"James coaching style has helped my son develop leadership skills, perseverance, and confidence on and off the soccer field. James inspires young athletes to reach their full potential while guiding them to skill mastery, knowledge of the game, and passion to improve. The feedback James gives players is individualized and pushes each player to get better."
A. Miller
"James is a wonderful coach and mentor to our soccer team. Each player has grown and improved by great lengths since James became their coach. He is teaching life long skills that not only makes my son a better player, but a better person. We are truly blessed to have him as our coach"
