ABOUT US

TechFit Soccer nurtures complete athletes through a holistic approach that integrates advanced soccer training with crucial personal development. We are dedicated to cultivating not just exceptional players, but well-rounded individuals prepared for success on and off the field.

Our Legacy

At TechFit Soccer, our mission is to develop dedicated athletes with unparalleled opportunities for personal and professional growth. We are committed to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment that emphasizes holistic player development, including social-emotional learning. By integrating social-emotional learning, we equip our players with the skills to effectively manage emotions, build healthy relationships, and make responsible decisions. Participation in premier national and international tournament showcases provides our players with vibrant competitive experiences that pave pathways to collegiate and professional success. Through strategic partnerships and community support, we strive to elevate the game of soccer and create a legacy of excellence, equity, and aspiration for all our athletes

Our Approach 

At TechFit Academy Soccer, we believe in a dynamic and comprehensive training philosophy that goes beyond traditional drills. Our approach is meticulously designed to foster not only elite soccer skills but also the mental fortitude, physical resilience, and strong character necessary for sustained success.

 

Seamless Integration: Technical Skill Meets Peak Fitness

 

We don't separate technical training from fitness development; we integrate them seamlessly. Our sessions are crafted to challenge players both tactically and physically, ensuring that every touch, pass, and shot is executed with precision and power. This means:

  • Game-Specific Fitness: Conditioning is not just about running laps. We incorporate soccer-specific movements, agility drills, and strength training directly into our technical exercises, mirroring the demands of real game situations.

  • Technical Drills Under Pressure: Players develop composure and decision-making by executing complex technical skills while experiencing game-like fatigue and pressure. This prepares them to perform optimally when it matters most.

  • Smart Periodization: Our coaching staff designs training cycles that progressively build technical proficiency and physical capacity, minimizing injury risk and maximizing long-term development.

 

The Power of Connection: Building Player Rapport

We understand that a strong team is built on strong relationships. Our coaches prioritize building genuine rapport with each player, fostering an environment of trust, respect, and open communication. This involves:

  • Individualized Attention: Getting to know each player's unique strengths, weaknesses, and aspirations allows us to tailor our coaching and support.

  • Positive Reinforcement: We celebrate effort and progress, creating a positive learning environment where players feel empowered to take risks and learn from their mistakes.

  • Mentorship Beyond the Pitch: Our coaches act as mentors, offering guidance on topics ranging from sportsmanship and discipline to academic pursuits and future aspirations.

  • Encouraging Teamwork: We design activities and foster a culture that emphasizes collaboration, mutual support, and collective success.

What Makes Us Different?

What truly distinguishes TechFit Academy Soccer is our holistic approach that goes beyond just the game. Our unique strength lies with our head trainer, a Bay Area native who brings both professional playing and coaching experience from local and international levels. This combined expertise offers players invaluable insights into the game and its challenges. We incorporate Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) into our program, promoting resilience, teamwork, and responsible decision-making—essential for success in every area of life. Our philosophy centers on mastering the basics with high intensity, creating a solid foundation of fundamental skills. Ultimately, we are committed to pushing each player to reach their fullest potential. Adding to this distinct advantage are our international pro club affiliations, offering unparalleled international playing opportunities abroad, and dedicated college and pro academy pathways, setting TechFit Academy Soccer apart as a true launchpad for aspiring athletes.

TechFit's Three Areas of Focus

Nessma Ismail

Having my son Nasir be part of TechFit has truly been one of the most transformative experiences of his young life. From the moment he joined, I saw a change not just in his skillset on the field, but in his confidence, discipline, and leadership off of it.

 

Coach Chris is more than just a coach, he’s a mentor, a role model, and someone who genuinely invests in each player’s growth. He sees the potential in every kid and pushes them to rise to it. Nasir has learned to trust in his abilities, to work hard, and to stay focused, lessons that extend far beyond soccer.

 

TechFit has created an environment where players feel challenged, supported, and part of something bigger. The training is elite, the camaraderie is unmatched, and the opportunities like the Mammoth Lakes camp are unforgettable. Nasir came home more motivated than ever, inspired by his peers and the passion Coach Chris brings every day.

 

We are so grateful to be part of the TechFit family. I’d recommend it to any parent who wants to see their child grow into a stronger athlete and an even better person. 💕

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Stephanie Oliva

First and foremost, I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to Coach Chris for his dedication and selflessness. His commitment to always putting the kids first has not gone unnoticed and is truly appreciated.

 

The Mammoth Lakes experience was unforgettable—not only was the soccer outstanding, but the bonds formed among the players and families were very meaningful. This trip provided a perfect blend of high-level athletics and much needed quality family time, we can’t wait to go back! 

 

Watching Coach Chris care for each child and push them to reach their full potential was inspiring and impactful. One of the highlights of the camp was the journaling activity, which reinforced personal discipline and self-reflection—skills that will benefit the kids in every aspect of their lives as they grow up to be student athletes. 

 

Thank you, Coach Chris, for making this incredible experience possible, especially in such a short time frame. Your effort, passion, and commitment do not go unnoticed, and we are truly grateful. Since day 1, I’ve seen such positive growth in Amari—he’s listening better than ever, and it’s clear that the lessons from camp are sticking.

 

What sets Coach Chris apart is that his focus extends beyond soccer. He is helping to raise respectful, disciplined, and thoughtful young individuals. Being part of Techfit has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for Amari and our family. This program is not just about sports—it’s a family-centered community that continuously creates life-changing opportunities.

 

The growth of these young athletes is nothing short of remarkable. I still remember our first game and the tough 20-0 loss just 6-8 months ago—it’s amazing to witness how far the team has come since then.

 

I’m honored to be part of the Techfit family and will continue to support it in any way I can. This community brings me peace of mind as a parent, knowing that my son is surrounded by genuine care, firm guidance, constructive feedback, and meaningful life lessons.

 

Coach Chris, thank you for aligning with my values and supporting me in raising a strong, balanced, and kind young man. Your impact has been truly life-changing, and for that, I am forever thankful.

Being a part of the Techfit Academy has been a rewarding experience for my family. Coach Chris’ dedication to developing and nurturing his players is unmatched. What sets him apart from others is his demand for respect and focus - to him, the other players and the pitch. My son comes out of each training session hungry for more. Chris strikes the perfect balance between intensity and fun, keeping all his players fully engaged. It’s an art form that is unique to Chris.

 

Techfit trainings always revolve around a “skill of the day” and a complementary focus (e.g., concept, mindset, or social learning) that guides the entire session. This thematic approach serves as a North Star for the players, ensuring that every drill and technique ties back to the central theme and reinforces their understanding of the day’s training objectives.

 

I also appreciate Techfit’s Individual Development Plans where players can write goals, reflect on prior trainings/games and come up with effective improvement plans with Chris. The attention to each individual is highly refreshing - Chris can reflect instantly on the players’ strengths and weaknesses and provide the correct feedback to his players. Not only within the bounds of skills and technique on the pitch, but also through their psychosocial growth and self-reflection.

 

Attending Mammoth soccer camp was a great bonding experience for my son Jalen. Having the opportunity to train in elevation was the goal, but he came back refreshed and ready to start his summer with a sense of camaraderie with his teammates, a heightened thirst for improvement and an appreciation for our natural world. Jalen’s first athletics camp experience was unforgettable and I know this will be a core memory for him.
