JR7 SOCCER

JR7 SOCCER is very unique because it is designed, owned and run by someone who lived the life of professional soccer player, played on the highest level and mentors each and every player in the program very personally. James helped my son (and us) through both ups and downs of my son soccer career. Even, if my son doesn't end up playing professionally, these were really great life experiences and learnings for him. Nothing but respect and appreciation for James.

Coach James has been the most influential and professional coach I have ever had. JR7 soccer brings together like-minded players who have desires for playing at the next level, and James personally makes sure to provide every resource available to help players be successful. From being a part of JR7 for almost my entire high school experience, I can attest to the fact that he is doing everything he can on and off the field to guide us to become a better player and a better person. I personally would like to thank James for helping me find the right college for me, as I will be attending the United States Air Force Academy as a part of their class of 2026, and even have the opportunity to play soccer there as well.

James does a great job. Excellent in communication and wants the kids to the best at the sport they love.

As a parent, and a soccer assistant coach myself, I highly recommend the JR7 Academy Training with coach James Riley. top notch program: the coach, the philosophy, the drills, the players; all-around high value! 1. JR7 is a great academy level soccer training system, that helps the kids grow technically, physically, and mentally. My son has improved considerably since starting it two months ago. not only on the field, but also off the field. how he manages his food diet, his sleep, his focus/discipline, the competitive drive... not only you see the value on the field, but you also benefit from the various online programs that coach James offers (the weekly online mentorship calls, the online videos, ...) 2. Coach James is top class! yes, it helps to have the pedigree of being an ex-MLS Pro. but in addition, his training is very structured, intentional, comprehensive, and intense. His attention to details and his focus on giving every player the correct constructive feedback in a timely manner is excellent. Plus, he is constantly driving every player to be the best he can, technically, physically, and mentally. He is a no-nonsense coach; there is no goofing around. no wasting time. no operating at only 80%. every minute of practice is a push for every player to get better and be more consistent. you practice at 100%, then you play the game at 100%. He is passionate about his craft and enjoys sharing his Pro experience with the players. 3. for my son, who is 2008, playing with a mix of players where most of them are older/stronger/faster, is a great way to calibrate his skills and push himself further. in two months (3x per week), he improved, and now plays on the 2007 team (one year up). you can see his confidence level in his touch on the ball, passing accuracy, calm under pressure, etc...

I’ve been training with James for 3 years now and I truly believe that what James does is life changing for a lot of people. He will teach you division 1 habits and mentality which are essential pieces to development. He will also support you with recruiting by recommendation and phone calls with coaches.

I first joined JR7 at the beginning of 2021. James was very welcoming and friendly but he also makes you work. JR7 helped me become a better player on and off the field thanks to his mental performance training. I have improved a lot over the time I have spent doing JR7 but one aspect that sticks out to me was how well my passing improved.

Coach James is probably the best coach that I’ve had so far in my club career he’s taught me how to deal with things on and off the pitch and taught me how to be a better person, athlete, and student. Coach James also supports you with what you need and your family he’s helped me a lot with things I can’t afford to do.

Jr7 is the best place to boost your child's abilities up to the next level. coach James is a very special person who helps kids reach their full potential while maintaining a welcoming, fun, and professional environment for student to learn and grow as both a person and a player.

Great mentorship. Helped my son get the offer from colleges.
