Our boys have been playing youth sports for a decade, and we've seen that coaching is not an easy job. The most successful coaches strike a delicate balance between high expectations and a true commitment to fair play--between skills development and character development. Coach Val and his staff strike that balance uncommonly well, and the result is a joyful, meaningful experience that changes the lives of young athletes."- Amy (Parent)"We would like to say a big thank you for helping our son get to this place [Team USA/Gold medal]It's truly a special moment for for our family! Your guidance, mentorship, and coaching certainly lead to this unique moment!"- David and Esther (Parents)"Val has had an incredible impact on my development as an ultimate player and person. Playing under him on the Bay Area U-16 team for two years helped me understand the importance of mental toughness and seeing the big picture, not to mention my improvement in fundamental skill thanks to Val's coaching...Val's influence on the Bay Area youth ultimate players has been insurmountable." - Jeremy (U20 Team USA, College Player)"Coach Val's intensity and fire when playing and coaching makes your players want to play the same way, and I am so glad that I got to be coached by him. Val taught me the basics and beyond, but he also helped me realize how much I love the game."- Athena (Player)
