Our Commitment to Your Player's Growth

At TechFit Academy, we believe in a comprehensive approach to player development, blending high-level soccer training with crucial life skills. Here's what sets our Travel Teams apart:

  • Extensive Season Length: The TechFit Academy season runs from the week of August 11th, 2025, through Memorial Day Weekend in May 2026. This extended season ensures consistent development and more opportunities for growth.

  • Consistent Training Schedule: Players will participate in 2-3 training sessions a week from August 2025 until May 2026, with the exception of holidays and school breaks. Even during the winter, 1 dedicated training session per week is included in the fees, emphasizing our commitment to continuous technical skill development and team synergy. Training days will be provided after allocations from the city of Alameda.

  • Abundant Tournament and Winter League Participation: Our '25-'26 season includes participation in 7-8 tournaments and 2 winter leagues. While predominantly local, expect 2 exciting travel tournaments to destinations like Southern California and Nevada, providing valuable exposure to diverse competition.

  • More Games, More Time: Your child will gain significantly more playing opportunities with us, resulting in more free weekends for your family! We project playing an estimated 54+ games per season, a substantial increase compared to other clubs that typically play 20-30. This translates to a huge range of opponents, more exposure, and invaluable game experience.

  • Comprehensive Development (Beyond Soccer): We go beyond just technical skills. We prioritize Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) throughout our program, fostering essential qualities like resilience, teamwork, and responsible decision-making – crucial for success in every aspect of life.

  • International Connections & Pathways: What truly sets us apart are our exclusive affiliations with renowned international pro clubs and academies worldwide. These connections offer unique player pathway opportunities, opening doors for our athletes to experience international playing opportunities abroad and pursue college and pro academy pathways.

  • Experienced Leadership: Trainer vs. Coach: Benefit from the unparalleled expertise of our coaching staff, who possess both professional playing and coaching experience. We believe in the distinction of a "trainer" – someone who not only coaches but actively develops individual players with a deep understanding of the game's nuances, alongside our dedicated coaches who excel in team strategy and dynamics.

  • Transparent Approach: We believe in clear communication and financial transparency. You can expect a straightforward fee structure with no hidden fees, allowing you to focus on your child's development without unexpected costs.

  • Proven Track Record: Our data speaks for itself: 100% of players who consistently trained with TechFit Academy between 2021 and 2023 have successfully moved up in level and league play, a testament to the effectiveness of our program.

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.
