Meet Calle

As a full time soccer coach and retired professional player, I have dedicated many years of my life to this beautiful sport. 

Starting my journey back in Northern Virginia around age 5, I have experienced the highs and the lows of the sport throughout my youth career and into my collegiate and professional career. As a coach I bring a wealth of experience and knowledge of how to develop different techniques and play styles to help you perform on game day. I encourage creativity and hard work in a safe environment to learn and grow.

Meet Hannah

The  impacts of wonderful coaches and friends I gained through a youth soccer career changed the course of my life, and now I am lucky enough to pay that forward for the next generation.

I began playing soccer at age 6 and have continued playing ever since. I was lucky enough to be exposed to a variety of positions, coaches, and clubs to broaden my perspective on the game. The ways different coaching impacted me as a player strongly influenced the way I lead my kids and teams to this day. 

Soccer has not only been a place to satisfy my competitive edge, but also given me a home to curate my character and skills that endure the course of my life. It is an honor and a privilege to hold a space for the next generation of kids to do the same.
