Little Soccer (30 Minutes): For kids, ages 4-6. Coaches will help young soccer players develop the skills needed to play the sport. This class will help focus on ball handling skills, improving balance, agility, strength and fitness.

Soccer Ball Mastery & Footwork [Beginner - Novice] (45 Minutes): For kids, ages 7-14. This class is recommended for beginner through intermediate/advanced players.   Kids will learn and practice professional quality soccer fundamentals, ball handling skills and footwork.  Coaches will challenge students to learn new dribbling skills each class and motivate them to continue practicing during the week.  Since kids will not be worrying about winning or where the ball is going,  this class is a great opportunity to focus strictly on technique, footwork and becoming balanced players. Coaches will work on improving player's weaker side, building foot-eye coordination, strength and overall physical fitness. We will introduce offensive/defensive strategies and high-level game movement. This is a very active, fun class that we hope will inspire your child to play soccer throughout their lives.

Cardio Soccer Classes (60 Minutes):  For kids, ages 9-16. [This class is not recommended for beginners]. Coaches who teach these classes have played and coached at the highest level and love sharing their passion/expertise with committed, young soccer players. Our goal is to ensure that when each child returns to the field, they will play with proper form, notice a huge improvement with the way they cover the field, defend, attack,  shoot the ball, react and strategize.  Every skill we work on is designed to improve ball control and build cardio.  We hope we will instill the value of individual practice on an ongoing basis, in addition to playing with a team. The more you practice the better you get!

My name is Pedro Goncalves and I am from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I have been living in the U.S for the past five years and am currently in St Petersburg, Florida. I speak Portuguese as my native language, English fluently after receiving two College degrees and Spanish Advanced. 

I consider myself very energetic and passionate about life. I believe in hard work, to have joy for sports and passion for what you do. I love challenges and new experiences. I got fascinated by youth development recently after being able to work at Ronaldo Soccer  Academy in Tampa right after graduating from a NCAA college playing soccer at the highest level. 

I am very fortunate for all the experiences that I have had in soccer throughout these five years, and in the process of becoming a professional soccer player I would love to give it back to the community by being able to make part of the development of youth soccer players.  This is the main reason why I chose to apply at Kassirer Sports and why I am so excited to make a difference and help other athletes achieve their goals such as I did by getting a Associate’s and Bachelor’s degree while following a professional career in soccer and pursuing my Master’s degree!
