Private soccer training in Utah with Coach Armin is on pause right now, but the waitlist is open for families in the Salt Lake City area. My sessions are small, fun and packed with touches on the ball, with agility and speed work every time and a game at the end. Fill out the short form at the bottom of this page and you'll be the first to hear when sessions start again.
I've been coaching soccer for about 20 years. In my sessions I help young players improve their touches on the ball, receiving, passing with pace and accuracy, ball control, agility, speed, shooting and coordination.
I also teach kids to approach training with commitment and drive. Good training habits in soccer carry over to life, and giving full effort in practice builds character off the field too.
Soccer is fun! But a lot of young players lose the joy of the game because too many clubs treat youth soccer too competitively, with kids who are too young to focus only on winning.
My goal is a training environment that's fun and competitive, with laughter and hard work. And every session ends with LetThemPlay time, where the game is the coach.
Over the years I've run private soccer training in Utah both indoors and outdoors, with group sessions in parks around Salt Lake City, including Hatch Park in North Salt Lake, Bountiful City Park and Centerville Community Park. Each group had 12 players at most, split by age, so every kid got real attention and a lot of time on the ball.
When sessions come back, families on the waitlist will get the days, times and location first.

When will sessions start again? I don't have a date yet. Families on the waitlist will be the first to know, before I post anything on the website or social media.
Does it cost anything to join the waitlist? No. Joining is free and doesn't commit you to anything. When sessions return, I'll share the price along with the days and times.
What ages do you coach? Boys and girls ages 6 to 13. I group players by age and ability so the training fits them.
Is the training connected to a club? No. My private soccer training in Utah isn't affiliated with any youth soccer club, so it works alongside whatever team your child plays for.
Training works best on top of regular games with a team. If your child isn't on one yet, Utah Youth Soccer's guide to its leagues explains the options, from recreation leagues to competitive ones. Most families start with their city's recreation league, and my Start Here guide walks you through the first season.
