Coaching services

Ways to work together

Beyond the apps — other ways I can support your player or your program directly.

Skills camps

Focused multi-day camps for players who want to sharpen their game before the season. Small groups, position-specific training, and written player feedback at the end.

Coaching clinics

Single-day themed clinics for coaches — drills, age-appropriate formations, and strategies for managing and motivating young athletes.

Tournaments

Small showcase and competitive tournaments with full bracket management, field scheduling, and referee coordination. Your players deserve a well-run event.

Program consulting

I've rebuilt youth sports programs from near-zero post-COVID. Recruitment, parent communication, coach vetting, long-term sustainability — let's talk.

Recruiting guidance

A 1-hour parent consultation on the college recruiting process — realistic timelines, how to identify target programs, what coaches actually look for, and what to do right now.

About

Coach Anthony Tanaka

Southern California native. Developing youth soccer players, from first touches in the Playground League to club teams and High School varsity.

Outside the pitch I'm a 25-year UX and front-end engineer — which means I build the tools I wish existed when I first started coaching. Those two worlds don't usually meet. Here they do.
