Private Training

East FC is proud to offer private training opportunities with a select group of coaches who have been vetted and approved by our club for one-on-one or small group instruction. These coaches bring experience, professionalism, and a deep understanding of player development—and are ready to work with athletes who are motivated to grow beyond the regular training schedule.

Whether your player is looking to sharpen technical skills, improve tactical understanding, or build confidence on the ball, private training offers personalized instruction tailored to their individual goals.

Each coach listed below is available for direct contact. Families may reach out to arrange training sessions and discuss availability, location, and rates directly with the coach. All sessions are scheduled outside of regular East FC team training hours.

These sessions are optional and serve as a valuable supplement to our team-based programming.
