Who We Help
We work with goalkeepers and attackers ages U9–U18, with groups organized by age and ability. Goalkeepers improve technique, confidence, and save-making. Attackers improve finishing, scoring, and the technical details that create goals. Both also develop speed, power, and movement in a way that is realistic, transferable, and fun.

Head Coach/Founder
About Coach Kris
Originally from the UK, Coach Kris began coaching before going on to play college soccer in the United States and later work as a college goalkeeper coach. He has worked with players across the full development pathway, from newer and younger players building fundamentals, to high school athletes preparing for college tryouts, to college goalkeepers competing at the next level.
That range is a big part of what shapes his coaching. Kris understands how to meet players where they are, challenge them appropriately, and help them improve with clear, purposeful training. Through Elevate Soccer, he works with goalkeepers and attackers ages U9–U18, focusing on technique, confidence, movement, power, speed, and the details that transfer into games.
