Testimonials

“I have trained with the Kickers since age 15. Coach Raffi is a great trainer, and is the reason why I developed and improved so much in soccer. He helped me improve in a variety of different things like fitness, shooting, passing, being focused, control, etc. The program is very kind and understanding no matter what the situation. The coaches are always free to answering any question. Houston Kickers focuses on your weaknesses and builds them up to become your strengths. They keep pushing me forward to becoming the best.”

“5 Star training for my daughter!”

“My children are 7 and 8 with previous soccer experience, but their confidence and interest were both waning following their recent fall season. I wanted to see if they had outgrown their interest in soccer or if they needed to try something different, so I signed them up to train with Coach Raffi for the summer. As a parent I found Raffi to be patient, encouraging, and engaging in his training sessions. He communicated in a positive manner and focused on building fundamental skills in FUN and engaging games. I saw an immediate and progressive improvement in their confidence and skill level. My children and I look forward to continue working with the Coach Raffi.”
