AboutCoachDerrick
With an outstanding background as a goalkeeper and over 10 years of coaching experience, I bring both passion and expertise to the pitch, helping you believe & achieve!
I have played soccer for 20 years starting at just five years old. I played my youth career at Santa Clara Sporting, then Central Valley Gunners. My college career started at West Valley and played there for three years, then I transferred to Tabor College in Kansas for the remainder of my college eligibility. While at Tabor College I received Defensive MVP and Save of the Year as well as being recognized as the top 10 goalkeepers in the country in 2016 and 2019.
While my playing career has ended my passion for the game has continued through coaching. I am excited to help mold the next generation of goalkeepers. I train goalkeepers of all ages and skill levels including Recreational, ECNL, and High School. I look forward to sharing my knowledge and passion for the position and helping you reach your goals on the field!
What some happy keeper students say:
"Coach Derrick was great! My 6-year-old had fun training with him, and I could see a boost in his confidence on the field after the first couple of training sessions. Thank you!"
- Isis O.
"Coach Derrick is great training my 14 year old Goalie. The technique and core skills required to be the best you can be. Already seen an improvement just in a handful of sessions"
- Rachel G.
"Coach Derrick has a lot of knowledge in Goalie training, which is very hard to find.
He is putting my son through some quality athletic training which my son really needs to improve his overall athleticism during a very difficult time for all kids that care about sports."
