Parents Testimonials

Nicole A.

My experience at CASA with the coach has been absolutely fantastic. He is not only fun and supportive but also incredibly approachable and helpful. Arnaud is genuinely so nice and clearly in this for all the right reasons. I've felt encouraged and seen real progress in my daughter’s journey. I highly recommend CASA and their coaching services! We look forward to using his services again.

Lisa M.

Highly recommend CASA. Coach Arnaud has trained both of my daughters (ages 17 and 11). He is a fantastic professional coach and a wonderful person. I have been very impressed with how each session is expertly planned. The atmosphere is positive, challenging and fun. My oldest said she could feel an improvement just after the first session! His sessions have given my 11 year old so much more confidence on the field. They both look forward to each session because he is so knowledgeable and caring.

Laura H.

We started our coaching journey in 2020 with our local parks and rec team where we quickly found out the difference between good and bad coaches. We even became coaches for our daughters' team to help fill the void. When we made the jump to travel, we were lucky enough to have our first experience with Coach Arnaud. Coach Arnaud's professionalism, knowledge of the game, and love for the children is unsurpassed. He holds thoughtful and complete practices with an emphasis on making his students both technically better as well as better teammates. With his training, we saw an immediate improvement in our daughter. Coach Arnaud is one of the most skilled coaches in the Fredericksburg area and we look forward to future training!

Ashley G.

We have participated in both group and private sessions for our u10 and u12 daughters. We cannot recommend Coach Arnaud enough! When we noticed our oldest was having trouble making a move past a defender in her travel team practice, we decided to set up a private session to work on the skill with Coach Arnaud. Coach Arnaud studied clips from her practice, developed a training session tailored to her needs, and gave her the skills and confidence she needed to be successful during her next travel practice (and moving forward). Coach Arnaud has a great rapport with the athletes he trains and from a parent's perspective feels truly invested in their successes, touching base to see how their season is going and even coming to watch them play throughout the season. Our girls always look forward to their training sessions!

Lindsey R.

CASA has been a great experience for our daughter. The training specializes on her individual needs, which is then carried into scrimmaging for real time experience. CASA is a great program to supplement training for travel, academy, or rec teams. Coach Arnaud gets to know the girls on an individual basis so that he can work to further their skills and development. We highly recommend CASA!

Boys and girls from the ages of 7-17.

CASA is proudly club neutral! We have trainees from multiple club organizations and areas around Fredericksburg and Stafford. Our sole priority is the growth and development of the individual soccer player, so they can achieve their goals! All of our training options provide flexible scheduling so sessions work with your club schedule, not against it.

As long as you are consistent with the training program, you will see improvement in your dribbling, foot work, agility, overall conditioning, shooting technique, confidence on and off the pitch, work ethic, overcoming challenges, self-motivation, passion and LOVE for the game. Essentially, you WILL become a better soccer player.

All sessions are 1 hour long to maintain the intensity.

All sessions are drop-in, so you are not required to purchase a set number of sessions. However, it is crucial to remember that consistent training is necessary to achieve the desired results. Sporadic training, such as attending once every few months, will not lead to success.

We have a 1:6 coach to player ratio for our group sessions and a 1:1 coach to player ratio for our 1on1.
