What Parents Say

We are so glad that we have found Coach Joey. Our son has always been reluctant about joining clubs/teams as he is very shy and we have had to struggle to get him involved. This has changed with Coach Joey and his academy. Our son is dressed/ready every week at the door waiting to go, and is still talking about the training and his new friends on the ride home. The classes are a great balance of skills, games, teamwork and sportsmanship. Kids of all levels are made to feel included, encouraged and praised for trying new things and doing their best. Our son's skills have really improved thanks to this class and he has already asked to join the next session! I can't say enough good things about Coach Joey. We highly recommend him and his teaching methods!

We have tried many other soccer academies for my son and were very disappointed. I decided to try Joga Bonito based on my friend’s recommendation. I was blown away by Coach Joey’s enthusiasm and discipline. He is always there early, setting up everything. He connects with each child, spends time with each one to train them, and the kids absolutely adore him. My son loves his soccer sessions so much. I wish I could give Joga Bonito a million stars.

Coach Joey is AMAZING!! He took our 10 year old and brought out his full potential. He was selected to represent Canada and play regionals for our top QC academy for international tournaments. We just brought home silver in the SUSA Columbus tournament located in NY. 4 more coming in 2025 and my son is over the moon. Do not hesitate to try the Joga Bonito academy and get amazing results.
