Rated 5 stars by parents

Manu aka Fútbol Fundamentals is the best. He is extremely knowledgeable, creative, and technically as well as tactically an astute coach. He is very patient with kids and knows how to take each and everyone of them to the next level. He is truly an asset to the youth football/soccer community in Portland and surrounding areas. Can't recommend him enough.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do training sessions take place?

All training is conducted on a professional soccer-grade turf field at Coach Manu’s home in SE Portland, in the Foster-Powell neighborhood. This provides a high-quality, controlled environment for focused development. If needed, we can discuss alternative locations with parents to accommodate specific needs.

What services do you offer?

We provide a range of training options, including private coaching, small group training, structured development programs, and seasonal camps. Every program is designed to develop strong fundamentals and accelerate progress. If you're unsure which option is best, we can help you decide.

What is your methodology?

Our training is built on fundamentals, repetition, and game-realistic scenarios to develop well-rounded players. We focus on technical mastery, decision-making, and confidence under pressure while emphasizing high-intensity, high-rep training with immediate feedback. We incorporate games and fun into each session.

What should my child bring to training?

Your child should arrive with soccer turf shoes only (no cleats), shin guards, and a water bottle. Most importantly, they need a positive attitude and strong work ethic! ❌ No gum or food is allowed on the turf field to maintain a clean and professional training environment.

What is your cancellation or rescheduling policy?

If you need to reschedule, please give at least 48 hours notice. Missed sessions without prior notice cannot be refunded or rescheduled. Development Blueprint athletes have more flexibility based on their program and availability.

What ages and skill levels do you work with?

We train players ages 5 and up, from recreational to elite levels. Each session is designed to match their skill level, improve technical ability, and build confidence in high-pressure situations. Our training adapts to meet the needs of every player, ensuring steady growth.

How do I know which training option is best for my child?

If you're unsure, fill out the inquiry form above, and I’ll personally assess your child’s skill level, goals, and training needs. Whether they need one-on-one coaching, small group competition, or a structured long-term program, we’ll work together to find the right fit for your athlete.

Do you offer team training or large group sessions?

Yes! Along with private and small group training, we offer large group sessions and seasonal camps focused on skill development, competition, and game awareness. These are scheduled periodically, so to stay updated and secure a spot, join the Community WhatsApp group.

Can parents watch?

Yes! Parents can stay and observe or drop off and pick up at the end of the session. It is up to you :) If you choose to watch, we ask that you observe quietly to help maintain focus. Regardless of your choice, please arrive on time to avoid disrupting any other scheduled sessions.
