Welcome to Arizona Soccer Skills Academy!

We’re excited to have you join our growing soccer community—a place where players of all levels can develop their skills, build confidence, and fall in love with the game in a supportive and professional environment.

I’m Coach Rizzo, and I’ve spent years helping young athletes transition from recreational play to competitive teams and school programs. My passion is creating a training experience that puts players first—one that focuses on skill development, game understanding, and a love for soccer, rather than the pressure and confusion that often come with youth sports today.

At Arizona Soccer Skills Academy, we do things differently. 

Every session is led by professional coaches who use proven training methods to maximize learning while keeping the game fun and engaging. 

Whether your child is stepping onto the field for the first time or looking to refine their skills for the next level, we’re here to support their journey.

Developing Players, Building Confidence,
and Growing the Game of Soccer

If you’re here, chances are your child loves soccer—or at least, they want to love it. Maybe they’ve played before and felt lost in the shuffle. 

Maybe they’re just getting started and don’t know where to begin. Or maybe you’ve watched youth sports become more about pressure and politics than actual development.

I see it all the time. The truth is, youth soccer in America is a maze—expensive clubs, early specialization, and a system that often overlooks players who develop later.

At Arizona Soccer Skills Academy, we’re not just running another soccer program. We’re building something different—a place where kids can truly develop, parents can feel confident in the process, and everyone can enjoy the game the way it was meant to be played.

What You Can Expect

Professional Coaching, No Guesswork – Every player deserves high-quality instruction from trained coaches.
A Focus on Development Over Pressure – We prioritize long-term growth so players can progress at their own pace while enjoying the game.
A Pathway for Every Player – From beginners to competitive athletes, we help players build skills and confidence for whatever level they aspire to.
A Community That Cares – Soccer is more than just a game; it’s a way to teach teamwork, resilience, and discipline in a fun and engaging environment.

What Makes Us Different

We focus on the player, not the politics. Your child’s progress isn’t about tryout results or club status—it’s about skill, confidence, and love for the game.
We don’t rush development. The best players aren’t always the ones who peak early. Our approach ensures steady, lasting growth that prepares them for the long run.
We keep it fun and challenging. Because when kids love playing, they learn faster, improve more, and stay in the game longer.
We meet every player where they are. Whether your child is stepping onto the field for the first time or preparing for the next level, we’ll help them reach their potential—without the pressure.
