“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.”

“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.”

"Coach Raffi is absolutely brilliant! Vian has been training with him for the last three years and his game keeps improving time after time. Coach Raffi also helps him to focus on specific skills needed for the positions he plays in teams - When he changed from mid-field to defense Raffi helped him to make vital changes to his game which helped him to have a super successful season. If you’re looking for a coach with great Soccer as well as people skills, look no further!"

"Raffi is an amazing coach and trainer. My girls are brand new to soccer, and he is very well organized with the drills to get them to understand the game and improve their skill set. He got my girls (ages 6 and 8) excited and motivated for their next lesson. I would definitely recommend Houston Kickers and Raffi to anyone interested in learning or improving in soccer."

"Raffi is a 5 star coach! I've trained with him for two years and have improved my soccer and all around fitness with him. He is able to quickly adapt to your training needs while challenging you every session. I would definitely recommend him whether you're looking to play soccer seriously or just for fun, or just improve your fitness. He Incorporated something different each session which made each one fun. I am 28 years old and think Raffi is the one to go to for anyone looking for a soccer coach."
