Clubs focus on teams.
We build your athlete.
Inspired by the Croatian Football Federation, our private soccer training in Portland, Oregon, helps athletes ages 5–17 master the fundamentals, develop game IQ, and build the confidence and mental toughness to excel on and off the field.
Train with Purpose
Most private soccer training focuses on repetitive isolated drills — but without a structured, game-realistic plan, young players can struggle to apply what they practice.
Our training methodology follows a clear, progressive approach designed for long-term player development. Every session is built around realistic, decision-making scenarios — not the kind of “highlight drills” made for TikTok, but training that translates directly into smarter, more effective play on the field.
We help your athlete build the technical mastery and soccer IQ that lead to real-game impact: better control, smarter decisions, and greater confidence under pressure.
Coach Manu is one of the best coaches I have ever seen in Oregon. My three boys improved a lot after practicing with him. He is patient and positive with all of the kids. His training is very intense, and I highly recommend him. Skills, defending, and all of the other techniques, only you can learn from Manu. It is an Italian soccer mentality.

Creating More Ways for Kids to Play
All over the world, kids grow up playing soccer anywhere a ball can roll—streets, parks, beaches. But in Portland, pay-to-play dominates, leaving many without opportunities. Fútbol Fundamentals began as an effort to bring back the joy of playing with friends.
Over the years, we’ve hosted hundreds of pickup games, after-school camps, large-group training sessions, and tournament teams—always free or donation-based to cover costs and provide scholarships for kids who otherwise couldn’t afford to play.
As our community grew, parents and players started asking for more—something beyond just a place to play. They wanted structured training and a clear path to reach their full potential. That demand led to the creation of our private and group training programs.
No matter how much we grow, we remain committed to creating more ways for kids to play, offering free and low-cost events throughout the year so that every child has the chance to play, learn, and love the game.
Master the Fundamentals.
Love the Game.
