Meet The Coaches

Hey Soccer Superstars! I’m Coach Fernando! I’ve always loved soccer and have continued to play since I was four years old. My favorite professional soccer team is Barcelona, but I love watching the the Eagles and 76ers as well. A little bit about me outside of soccer – I love cool cars and recently really got into Formula 1. I enjoy building legos and learning about dinosaurs. Currently, one of my favorite movies is Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse! I’m a kid at heart, and have enjoyed every moment with you and your little ones! I can’t wait to have more fun on Soccer Island!

Hi Soccer Friends, I’m Coach Mac– like Mac and Cheese! I’ve been coaching for soccer shots since my sophomore year of college, in 2019. After graduating from Rowan University in 2022, I took a year off. After realizing how much I missed coaching all of you kiddos, I came back as the new Director of Coaching this year. I just couldn’t stay away from all of the positive energy that comes with coaching a bunch of future soccer stars! I’ve been playing soccer my whole life, and had even had the pleasure of playing travel soccer in England, UK… I lived there for 4 years, since my dad was in the Air Force! I’m so excited to get back on the soccer field and teach you my favorite soccer moves.

Hi Soccer Friends, my name is Coach Nick and I have been part of Soccer Shots since the Summer of 2019. I played soccer all my life up until high school where I played at Eastern. I still stay active by playing soccer and skateboarding with my friends when I can. I also enjoy playing some video games and love the Marvel Universe. I look forward to getting out on Soccer Island with you and your little ones.

Hello! My name is Coach Pete, and I am new to soccer shots with Winter 2023 being my very first season! I was born and raised in Philadelphia but now live in Woodbury Heights with my wife, daughter and two puppies. I’ve played soccer all my life and really enjoy being around the game helping the next generation grow. My favorite move is the pull back. I can’t wait to see all my soccer friend’s next season!

Hi Soccer Friends! I’m coach Danielle and am so excited to be on the Soccer Shots team. It is truly my pleasure to be working with you and your family. I have been working with kids for 15 years and just love it! I had the pleasure to coach recreation soccer prior to working for soccer shots. My passion for children comes from their energy, excitement and willingness to grow on the field. There is nothing more fulfilling than watching each child grow and helping each one of them build their confidence through our Soccer Shots program. I am a mother of 3 children, 2 of which have participated in the program with other coaches. I also enjoy DIY projects, painting, working with my hands and being creative. I am proud to be a part of this program and can’t wait to see you on Soccer Island!

Hi! My name is Coach Amy. I’m from Mantua Township and played soccer on their township team for two years. As a child I did competitive dance, which gave me a passion for exercise. I go to Rowan College of South Jersey a business major. I have a passion for teaching and it truly makes me happy to see the children grow throughout the season. My hobbies are running, sewing, and training my dog. My dog’s name is Camden, she’s a rescue pit bull from the streets in Camden. She’s super smart and very loving. I learned how to sew in high school, then taught kids to sew for about 6 months. Although I don’t have that much experience with soccer, I have a talent for working with kids! My favorite soccer move is the pull back because for our youngest players it can be tricky at first but its super rewarding when they get it down, I can’t wait to see your kids on the field!

Greetings! My name is Coach Jose and I’ve been with Soccer Shots since the Spring of 2021. I have played soccer for as long as I can remember. I played college soccer and I am now majoring in radio/tv and film. I love to play video games and my favorite is Apex legends. I also like to go hiking and spend time with my two favorite dogs; Rio and Luna. My favorite soccer skill is defending because I played center back my whole life. I can’t wait to get to meet everyone of you, so we can have a blast on soccer island!

Hi soccer friends! My name is Coach Ally. I’m a senior at Rowan University with a major in Law and Justice. I started playing soccer around 4 years old, all the way until my freshman year of high school. However, I recently joined a non-competitive adult league to get back into the sport. I love coaching here at soccer shots because I can share my love for the sport while having fun. One fun fact about me is that my favorite Disney movies are Encanto and Frozen. I can sing along to all of the songs! I look forward to meeting everyone on soccer island!
