MEET OUR HEAD COACH

Willian Lelis

The camp is led by Coach Willian Lelis, a former Brazilian professional player who competed in Brazil and concluded his career in Switzerland. After moving to the U.S. and playing for several competitive clubs in the Bay Area, he joined the SFYS league, driven by his passion for youth soccer development and his commitment to sharing his professional expertise. With over 20 years of coaching experience, he can be found passionately coaching from beginners taking their first touches to highly skilled, competitive teams. He has coached across schools, clubs, and futsal programs throughout San Francisco and is widely respected for his tactical understanding, steady leadership, and ability to connect with young athletes.

OUR 2026 San Francisco SOCCER CAMP PROGRAMS

Both programs run concurrently each week, providing a dynamic and engaging experience tailored to each age group throughout every camp sesson.

Youth Academy

For boys and girls K-3, this program introduces boys and girls to the fundamentals of soccer in a fun, supportive environment. Players build confidence and joy through ball mastery and plenty of touches, while developing coordination, balance, and agility. Through age-appropriate activities and small-sided games, players practice simple decision-making, learn how to work with others, and develop social skills and sportsmanship, laying strong foundations for both soccer development and personal growth on and off the field.

Player Development Academy

Know an advanced player from 4th to 7th grade? This program is for the older, more competitive players looking to take their skills to the next level. We work with the kids trying to improve their game by tailoring specific drills to improve techniques while emphasizing the important values that make them great teammates and competitors.

What does it take to be a successful player?

We believe that strong character values are essential for soccer players. These values teach athletes to respect opponents, referees, and teammates, helping them reach their full potential. They also foster a positive and respectful environment, which is crucial for success in high-performance soccer.

WHY PARENTS LOVE OUR CAMP

“William has been our son's soccer coach in both school leagues and in camps and we have always had a great experience. He is hands-on with instruction and has a unique ability to connect with his players and motivate them to be the best they can be. Training sessions are always different and fun with a lot of great competition. For the past two years he has offered summer camps for the school teams and our community and it was a life saver for our family. The kids loved it and it gave them a chance to see their friends and a fun time on the field. We certainly recommend it to other families.”

— Andrew Barous
“Both my children have been working with Coach William for the past three years, and you couldn't ask for a better, more committed coach who understands even very young kids. My children have trained with both coaches almost all year round and look forward to his practices and camps. I can't recommend it enough!”
— Roberto R.
“My kids have loved their time with Coach Willian! He is a wonderful coach…skilled, patient, kind and is always encouraging the kids no matter what skill level they are. He created a boys and girls camp during Covid where my kids could play safely, learned great soccer skills, and got a break from zoom. The kids came home with a lot of enthusiasm and my son is feeling more confident about his school soccer team. Even my younger daughter, who I thought would never play soccer, now loves it. We will for sure join camp again this summer!”
— Ahna Economidis

“Life is about learning and a distinguishing feature of youth is the passionate desire to learn.”
