Private soccer lessons with Coach David
A private session is the fastest way to improve a specific part of a player's game. There are no lines and no waiting: the whole hour is technical work at game speed, with constant feedback from the coach.
Coach David starts from where the player is. For a beginner, that means getting comfortable on the ball with both feet. For an experienced club player, it can mean a sharper first touch, a weaker foot that finally works, or preparation for tryouts. The plan changes as the player improves.
Players work with David Popovski, a private soccer coach who came through the FC Pelister academy in Bitola, played in the First Macedonian League and coached for three years in New Jersey. His sessions bring a European academy approach to individual training in Naples.
