Oscar Feliu
Coaching Philosophy:
We want to form our players to be good citizens, good students and the best soccer players they can be. It is very important to educate the person as much as the players while having FUN playing soccer. If they don’t have fun, they will not stick to it.
We aim to develop players with a high level of awareness that make good decisions on the field. Skillful players that have the ability to execute decisions made and put the team first, give maximum effort and compete to win.
