Testimonials

Dave is an excellent goalkeeper coach with a great knowledge of the game and a great motivator who does a tremendous job teaching both the technical and mental aspects of the goalkeeping position. Dave always demands perfection in every drill but also takes the time to explain why the keepers are doing the drill and why the techniques are important. This attention to detail truly makes a difference in game situations.My son's keeper skills and techniques tremendously improved under Dave as he continually pushes his keepers to be the best they can be, both physically and mentally.

Thank you, Dave.

We met Coach Dave about 3 years ago. He is not only a great coach, but he is also a great mentor to our son, Bradley. He is very genuine. He cares about the kids, and he pushes them to work harder. Coach Dave has helped build Bradley’s skills as well as his confidence. His guidance helped Bradley to be where he is now. As a parent, it’s nice to know that he is only a text or phone call away. We really appreciate his guidance on navigating the elite world of soccer. I highly recommend him as coach.

Thank you,

"Since Dave Pekarek (A.K.A. Big Dave) joined U.S. PARMA Soccer Club at the age of 15 whereas he played on the Men's Semi-Professional Team, he always had a strong passion for the game. His work ethic was tremendous. Very pleased to see that he is taking his passion and work ethic and applying to teaching/instructing the next generation of goalkeepers. I wish him much success."
