Coaches

Founder Coach Tom Creagh carefully selects and trains all Keiki Soccer Pros Coaches.  Many are former soccer players and all have experience working with young children.  Our coaches thoughtfully plan each class to suit each age group and pour their hearts and positive energy into their classes.  We love soccer, and it shows!

Parent Reviews

“I wanted to drop you a note expressing how happy I am that I found KEIKI SOCCER PROS and how much my son enjoys playing. Your staff is full of ENERGY, patience and understanding. My son is four and had played with you since age two. The scrimmage games are a great idea. Mahalo nui to you and your wonderful staff.”
"The way our coach interacted with the children was excellent. It was great to see the kids actually play with the soccer balls for the whole class. They did not do that at the other soccer program we had tried. Thank you so much.”
