Youth Soccer Coach · Player Development & Mentorship

From Youth Recreational Soccer to Competitive Club Play

  • First-grade rec
  • Competitive programs
  • FC Dayton club
  • Coaching at 16

My passion for soccer began in first grade, playing in local recreational leagues where I developed a love for the game, learned the importance of teamwork, and built a strong foundation in soccer fundamentals.

As my skills and dedication grew, I progressed into more competitive soccer programs, advancing to the level of club soccer with organizations such as FC Dayton. Through years of training, practices, and competitive matches, I have developed a deeper understanding of the game, including technical skills, positioning, strategy, communication, and sportsmanship.

Now, at 16 years old, I am excited to share my knowledge and enthusiasm with the next generation of young players. My coaching approach focuses on helping children build confidence, develop strong fundamentals, understand teamwork, and, most importantly, have fun playing soccer.

My goal is to be a positive role model and mentor, helping young athletes develop their skills and the same lifelong appreciation for soccer that began for me in first grade.— Coach Jackson

Why a 16-year-old coach?

Kids Learn Fastest From a Player They Look Up To.

Young players will run through a wall for an older kid who can do the moves they've only seen on TV. Jackson is close enough in age to make every lesson fun — and far enough along to show them exactly how it's done.

He started where they are, kicking a ball around the yard with friends. Six years of year-round team soccer later, he has the footwork, the engine and the game sense to teach the basics properly and push players who are ready for more.

More touches. More confidence. More fun.

Skill of the day

What We Work On

Basic and intermediate skills, one at a time, until they stick — and the rules of the game from a player who has done the referee training.

First Touch & Ball Control

Settling the ball with the inside, outside and sole — so it stops where you want it, not three steps away.

Basic

Dribbling & Moves

Close control at speed, then the moves that beat a defender: step-overs, cuts, the pull-back and the Cruyff turn.

Basic → Intermediate

Passing & Receiving

Weight, accuracy and both feet. Open your body before the ball arrives so the next pass is already lined up.

Basic

Shooting

Plant foot, laces, follow through. Placement first, power second — and finishing with the weaker foot.

Basic → Intermediate

Futsal Footwork

Small-space touches from two seasons of FC Dayton futsal: quick feet, sole rolls and fast decisions.

Intermediate

Know the Rules

Throw-ins, offside, fouls and restarts, explained by a player who has done the referee training — no more confusion on game day.

Every level

Sixty minutes

How a Lesson Runs

Every session has a plan, lots of touches and a game to finish.

10min

Warm Up & Touches

Fast feet, ball mastery and a quick game to get moving.

20min

Skill of the Day

The same skill under pressure, with a defender and a goal.
