“Angelo was fantastic for our club - we consider ourselves extremely lucky to have worked so closely with him during our 2015/2016 season. He is by far the best, most professional trainer we have been associated with during our 13 years of existence. We extended the offer to take on the role of Director of Coaching for our club after one year...Utah’s loss is Portland’s gain - you will not regret allowing Angelo to work with your kids!”

““...she liked:
-Your knowledge of the game and the techniques you taught
-Your positive attitude and demeanor as a trainer. Like I said before, you inspired her to be a better soccer player. She has complained about other trainers getting mad at them for doing the wrong thing...

...but she said that you were always very respectful of their weaknesses or failures...””

“Angelo Sabblah is an incredibly knowledgeable and motivating soccer coach. He builds great team rapport and unity and leads with confidence and positivity. More importantly, he is a kind and caring coach who teaches important life skills that are valuable both on and off the field. We feel very fortunate that our daughter had such an amazing first experience in soccer with him.”

“During the time we had him here in Utah, he was our most valuable resource.

I am writing this testimonial to let everyone know what a wonderful, knowledgeable, and hard-working coach Angelo is! I had three daughters that worked under Angelo each of them was heartbroken when he left, they absolutely adored him. His practices are always packed with non-stop action and depth that you don’t often see in the states. Each drill taught incredible ball-handling and techniques that are directly applicable to game situations. And while my daughters came home exhausted, they always had a smile on their faces and renewed confidence in their ability to play the game the right way.

He brings an energy and positive attitude to each training that is infectious, and encourages each of our players to continue to improve. I would whole heartedly recommend Angelo to anyone who wants their child to grow both technically and confidently into a depth filled tactician of the game.”

“Angelo coached all three of my daughters (three very different kids) at different stages of their soccer careers and without exception, he was supremely knowledgeable, thoughtful, enthusiastic and committed to player development.

Each of my girls improved significantly more under Angelo’s tutelage than under any other coach they have ever had. I’m certain that all of their teammates’ parents would echo this. Angelo “strikes” the perfect balance of establishing high expectations for commitment level and effort without forgetting that these are kids looking to have fun. He’s also an outstanding and very caring person. We all miss him a lot on the east coast!”

“Angelo Sabblah is a fantastic trainer. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the game of soccer, but more than that he is able to relate with parents and kids. Angelo treats every training session with the utmost professionalism. He approaches each session completely prepared. He is not only prepared for what he is trying to accomplish in that session, but how to personalize it so that each athlete is getting the most out of the training session. He is always set up and ready to go on time. When he is in a session he is focused on the session and does not spend time chatting with parents or others around, he stays focused on the athletes in the training session. He is extremely professional in the way that he works with the kids, and in the way he treats adults and parents.

We have had several different trainers that have worked for us and Angelo is the best we have ever seen. We were so sorry to see him go! He would be a wonderful asset to any soccer club or team!”

“Angelo worked with our U10 girls team in 2015-16 and I was very impressed on many levels. He has a way of educating youth on the fundamentals of soccer and also making them understand the reason behind what they are doing. He commands respect during his training yet the girls knew he cared about their success on an individual and team basis. By the second training he knew every girl by name. He was a valuable part of our run to a U10 Championship here in Utah. I would highly recommend A9 Soccer training to anyone interested in improving their team success.”

“Angelo coached our daughter for two years – those two years marked the biggest improvements in her all-around game, and most importantly, solidified her love of soccer. To this day, when we ask her about the qualities that she likes in her coaches, she says “I want them to be like Angelo”. ”

“My sons have trained with Angelo for a number of years, through camps, small group sessions and private sessions. Angelo has increased my sons’ confidence in the game, along with technical and tactical skills. He developed their soccer knowledge and situational awareness and helped them play the game more strategically.

Angelo was able to get my boys to do things that I have been trying to get them to do for years.

Angelo is a passionate teacher of the game and an outstanding coach, example, friend and mentor. I highly recommend him to anyone interested in improving their skills and knowledge of the game.”

“Angelo was my daughter’s soccer coach for three years. During that time, he helped her develop her technical skills and knowledge of the game. In addition, he nurtured her confidence and love of the game.

More importantly, Angelo’s approach with my daughter and the team was one that showed them he truly cared for them as players and as individuals. His knowledge and love of soccer was always evident on and off the field. He had high expectations for all of his players. Angelo was always approachable and the team responded to his nurturing and professional coaching.”

“Angelo was one of the best coaches my daughter ever had, that includes numerous club, travel and high school coaches.”

““I really appreciated all that you did for my team. We have been using what you have taught us and applying it to our practices and games. What an improvement I have seen with my girls.””

“...go to many camps, and are trained by various trainers. I was impressed by the way you trained. Both do not want to go back to their other trainers now and just say they want you to train them.”

He has been a member of our team since January 2008 and in that time; he has shown great professionalism and knowledge, sense of humor, fairness and confident classroom management techniques.

Angelo will always go that extra mile for the school...
