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

“Aloha Keiki Soccer Pros!  I like to thank your coaches for the great time my daughter Vanessa had. They are great with kids and the lessons were challenging and never boring. Coaches are funny too. I am looking forward to start again next season. Mahalo!"
"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.”
