Experienced tutor in Soccer in Rockville Centre, Fernando offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my daughter’s confidence on the field since she started training with Coach Fernando. I’m so glad we found Tiempo!

My daughter trains with Tiempo. She is having a wonderful experience.

Coach Fernando is caring and knowledgeable about soccer. Everyone can nit pick a program and say they would prefer this or that however he does want to see the players succeed and grow as soccer players.

My son loved street soccer, it’s fun and competitive and he loved having the freedom to just play and be himself.

My son Gregory just finished the summer season with Tiempo Academy and has been training with Coach Fernando for almost a year now. I absolutely love this soccer program. We have seen a tremendous jump in our son’s skills set and confidence from the start. He has had a more positive attitude towards the game and loves coming to practice especially for street soccer which is a free and unstructured play that the players would have after the training and where they demonstrate their soccer skills and moves. I have recommended other parents to his program and will continue to praise Coach Fernando and the Academy.

I am so happy that I found this program. My daughter has improved so much already. I definitely recommend this program. My daughter loves going every week.

I enrolled my daughter in the program back in February of 2022. The improvement that I’ve seen in her is nothing short of remarkable. From her handling of the ball, vision of field and decision making has improved batter than I’ve hoped. Coach Fernando and his staff make it a point to work on every detail of the game from biggest to smallest. I highly recommend this academy if you are looking to help your child improve their game.

We love Tiempo Soccer Academy! My daughters skill level and confidence have grown in goal since working with her trainer Bruno. We saw improvement after just a few sessions! At Tiempo you will find talented trainers who care about the kids and are available whenever you need them. I highly recommend Fernando and his team for your soccer loving child who wants to take their game to the next level.

Coach Fernando has been everything we’d hoped, and more. Our son’s skills have developed tremendously. But his ability to put those skills to use, his confidence during the games, his aggressiveness going after the ball, and his defensive skills have all improved even more. Coach’s way of interacting with the kids is tough but fair. He helps them find the maturity they need to bring out the best in themselves. And most importantly, he has helped our son find joy in the game, with no performance anxiety. Could not recommend more highly.

Coach Fernando doesn’t just talk the talk. He genuinely cares about his players and their development. We are fortunate to have our child in the program and see her become more and more confident. Thank you Coach!

Fernando is an excellent trainer who inspires confidence in his students. His training has improved my daughter’s technical skills, but has also inspired her to work hard in between sessions. Fernando’s methods have also empowered my daughter to reflect independently on her development and take responsibility for her growth. Fernando is also very communicative with parents and I always feel he has my daughter’s best interests at heart, as a player and as a person.

My 11yo son has been training with Fernando at Tiempo for the past few months and has thoroughly enjoyed it. The training is at a much higher level than you get from other programs and tailored to the needs of the individual player, not a whole team. Mental awareness of the game and responsibility for preparing has improved even in this short time. Fernando is great, the program seems to be working, highly recommended.

I have two daughters; they have been playing soccer since 2016 with coach Fernando. It is amazing how time flies and all I can say is my girls received the best training ever. Coach Fernando is so dedicated to each one of his players. It is unbelievable how his dedication has impacted my girl's attitude, and always thriving to get better at anything they are doing. The confidence on the field reflects on their day to day lives, especially in school. This is also true with the structure and discipline that he teaches them. Now my son is training with coach Fernando and every Thursday he can’t wait for his training session. Coach Fernando brings another level of enthusiasm and love for the sport. Soccer is not the same without him.

My 9 year old son has had the best experience with Tiempo Soccer Academy. Coach Fernando is an outstanding trainer that has helped my child improve and enjoy the development process. He gets so much out of training and really likes taking part in Open Play. Highly recommend!

Coach Fernando is an extremely dedicated coach who provides wonderful guidance to his students as well as helpful feedback. His love for the sport, as well as the kids he teaches it to, his coaching and direction comes across with improved performance on the soccer field. I would highly recommend him to those looking for a way to improve their skills.

Fernando is such a great coach. I’ve been taking my daughter for training with him since last summer and all I have are great things to say! He’s so patient and motivating towards all the kids, and it’s clear my daughter has improved tremendously since she has started. She loves soccer and strives to become a better player. Its hard to find people as committed to their job as coach Fernando. Even with harsh weather cancelling training sessions, he reaches out to his students and making sure attend zoom sessions. He goes above and beyond for his students

Coach Fernando of Tiempo Soccer Academy is such a knowledgeable coach who brings his expertise to the field. He is excellent with the children and easy going. I would definitely recommend Tiempo Soccer Academy to anyone that wants to excel in their social career. My twin girls have definitely improved and we are so happy with the results.

My daughter is at her happiest after a session at Tiempo. Coach Fernando creates a culture and environment for the players that breeds confidence and accountability while letting them be individuals on the pitch.

I have nothing but good things to say about Coach Fernando and Tiempo Soccer. My daughter entered this program over 6 months ago. I have seen marked improvement in her soccer on multiple levels. Not only has her footwork and game play improved but she is also a more confident player. This confidence is a direct result of Fernando’s positive energy and strong work ethic. My daughter is stronger both on and off the field. I would highly recommend this program for anyone who wants to help their child improve their game and grow their love of the sport.

Coach Fernando worked with my two daughters over the summer and I would highly recommend him as a trainer. He taught them skills, made every session fun and enjoyable, and importantly, helped them with confidence. They looked forward to each and every session and practiced regularly on their own. Coach Fernando is great with kids of different ages, is patient, and extremely respectful towards parents and families. Definitely recommend!

Great coach for my son's soccer needs. Highly recommended. Thanks Fernando for the effort you put into it.

My son really likes Coach Fernando because he enjoys the training and he improved the skills by a lot. He also likes the point system where at the end of the season whoever has the most points gets something you want at your favorite store. Every time he takes a class he doesn’t want to be late 1 minute.

In about one month, Tiempo Soccer Academy has had a lasting effect on my child. Not only has his core soccer ability improved, from dribbling skills to play making on the field, but his confidence in his ability has really taken off. Coach Fernando mixes core soccer development with life coaching lessons that have really resonated with my child. Thank you coach.

I am so happy that I chose to have my ten and eight year old girls work with Coach Fernando. As a parent, you always wonder if you are doing the right thing for your child. My ten year old was losing interest in playing soccer as she felt her club practices were boring, constantly doing the same drills. This was disheartening as she once told me “dad, soccer is my life” at one point. But I can honestly say that her gleaming smile ear to ear after her first session with Fernando assured me I made the right decision. Her love for the game was rejunevated, so much so that her and her sister went outside for an hour to complete the homework that was assigned to them on the first day. I didnt even get a chance to ask how it was and what they did. After a few sessions in Coach Fernandos training program, i have seen such growth in both girls on the field. They have developed such confidence in their ball skills and understanding the game. In addition, off the field they have become interested in the nutrition that will help them perform better. Coach Fernandos program breeds confidence, accountability and passion. He has a unique way of interacting with the kids that will help them reach their maximum potential. Thank you Fernando, Happy Soccer Dad

Fernando es un gran profesional, totalmente dedicado a sus alumnos, apoyándolos y motivándolos en todo momento. Muy agradecida de que esta gran persona se cruzará en la vida deportista de mi hija.

My son and I like Fernando's passionated and all-round training sessions. He's been training with Fernando for several months now and his soccer skills and confidence about the game have improved a lot. I like his approach to the whole growth of a young player not only in skills but also how to understand the game and most of all, how to take challenges and overcome them with practices and confidence. Thanks, Fernando, and keep the good work!

Great coach for my son's soccer needs. Highly recommended. Thanks Fernando for the effort you put into it.

Before meeting Fernando, my son has been practiced with travel team for about one and half year (technically it was one year cause the pandemic pause). I was trying to get my son some supplemental training at that moment. It turns out training with Fernando is a very good idea! My son loves his training his training session, since he make some innovation to drills and keep young players highly motived. As young soccer dad, I like his training style more because he know the importance of building up young player's soccer mind/or soccer thinking. For me it is important, since I always believe that soccer mind is crucial for players' long term development both on and off field!

My son just joined his group, and Fernando is so enthusiastic and professional about teaching him! He’s getting a lot more confident in his skills, and Fernando is extremely organized overall. I’m so happy we joined the team!

I’m Kris Thoppil. I’m the Father of Nandini who is a student of coach Fernando the CEO of Tempo academy. First thing he did with Nandini is , he accessed her capabilities and decided what kind of practices she needed to improve her skills. Coach Fernando make sure the student take and complete all the notes at the end of the session. He pick the clean and safest ground s to do the practice. He also do zoom session without any additional fee. He picked the best indoor sports arena to practice in the winter season. Overall I recommend anyone to join the program with Coach Fernando. It is even a great pleasure watching him coaching students.

I can’t say enough about Fernando’s ability to coach! his knowledge and passion for soccer is unbelievable! He has trained my daughter for 4 years, and I can say that she has grown as a player and as a person. She has learned discipline, respect for others and for the game . He is patient, encouraging and motivating. I would definitely recommend Fernando ( Tiempo Soccer Academy) to anyone that’s looking for private training that will improve your kid’s soccer skills to the next level !!! Thank you!!

We signed my 10yr old up for Fernando’s Winter camp and it was a great decision. He loved attending and was able to really refine and practice his skills in preparation for the next soccer season. Would definitely recommend.

My daughter said Coach Fernando deserves five stars. When asked why she said “because he is patient and gives tricks and tips while he is teaching”. I have seen for myself how he makes each session fun, exciting and also challenging. I highly recommend Tiempo Soccer Academy.

My son enjoys working with Coach Fernando. Fernando not only works with him on foot skills, but also works on the mental aspect of the game. My son is now playing with increased confidence.

Fernando has done an excellent job helping my 8 year old daughter become more confident with the ball in only 6 sessions. He has a great way he teaches as he doesn't go directly into the drills he finds out how she's doing and shows an interest in your long term growth. I would definitely recommend Tiempo to anyone who has a child looking to advance their skills.

Since beginning her training at Tiempo my daughter has shown an enthusiasm and excitement that I haven’t seen for the game. She is engaged and more committed in her training. Fernando is different than many trainers we have experienced over the years. He takes the time to get to know the child not only on a skill level but on an emotional level. This game is one that takes equal parts skill and mental stamina. Fernando has managed to merge the two in his training. The small group experience has also been a tremendous benefit for more individualized focus. I look forward to seeing my daughter back on the field this spring, and I know she will be approaching her game very differently as she continues to train with Tiempo.

Our sons started training with Fernando virtually during the pandemic, this was a different way of training and he was able to connect with the kids and keep them engaged. As we transitioned to in person training the boys had even more fun and were in a good place physically thanks to all the virtual training. Fernando has helped them improve on their skills and helped boost confidence. His training program is not only physical but also mental – he promotes a growth mindset and helps them see they can achieve their goals as long as they put the work in. He is able to connect with the kids because of his encouraging voice coupled with his real-life experience. We highly recommend Fernando!

Coach Fernando and I met at our nieces' school soccer game which led to him training my niece, which led to developing a friendship along the way. He shows so much enthusiasm to his craft, developing players weaknesses into strengths, & developing strong minded players. He loves what he does and it shows. You will find few professionals with the type of work ethic and enthusiasm he dedicates to each of his athletes. He is always on the hunt for new ways to get his athletes better. Having the opportunity to not only see him develop my niece soccer skills with massive improvements within a few sessions, but also giving her the confidence to think on her toes and make quick decisions on and off the field. I have also seen him develop all his players in their own unique way. To see his players during his sessions, work so hard but always end each session extremely happy, which such huge smiles is not something you can find just at any place. His passion to make a difference in a player's life shows in each one of his students. It's been an amazing experience working with Coach Fernando, if you are looking for a quality trainer look no further, Coach Fernando & Tiempo Soccer Academy is light years ahead of the rest.

Fernando is a very good coach, dedicated, professional and very responsible. He has been my daughter’s soccer coach for 4 years or more and he has been the best!!!

Coach Fernando is a caring, skillful, and committed coach who helped my daughter immensely on and off the pitch. On the pitch, my daughter’s command and mastery of the ball improved tremendously. Of the pitch, she became more confidant and was able to take risks playing without being afraid to fail.

Coach Fernando is an effective communicator who is committed to the players' development. An excellent motivator and Well-versed in the rules and foundation of the game. Very Patient and accepts that each player needs their (in our case our girl) own time to develop and find the position they enjoy the most. He is an exceptional role model, and a great listener that is able to inspire the players. He coached our girl for the last 5 years and it is amazing to watch her playing on the field.

Coach Fernando is an amazing trainer. My kids love training with him. My boys have gained more ball mastery and self confidence while training with Fernando. I would recommend him to any kid that is looking to growth their soccer skills and confidence.

Just wanted to share some feedback on the Tiempo Soccer Academy. Firstly, a big thank you! My wife and I are thrilled this organization has come to our area. Tiempo Soccer will finally expose our kids to high quality training. Our daughter has been training with Tiempo Soccer for several years now. Coach Fernando is an absolute star. He is amazing with the kids. His practice, drills and games always challenge our daughter. He continuously encourages her to learn new skills and have fun. I can't tell you how many times our daughter has come home filled with stories of scrimmages and exciting retellings of the fun games she has played.

My son plays soccer and although he is good at the position he plays, a chance conservation with him regarding his development led us to seek additional help. An online search led me to Coach Fernando from Tiempo Soccer Academy. I didn't know what to expect but was impressed with his request to speak with my son 1 on 1 to get an idea of his goals so that a plan can be developed. After their first evaluation session, my son was smiling ear to ear and stated that he's never experienced this type of training that only focused on him versus a large group. Coach Fernando is a positive influence on my son and has instilled the confidence in him to be a better player. Aside from the 1 on 1 sessions, Coach Fernando also deals with the mental aspect of the game. This challenges my son to think about the game and the positions he is placed in to help him make better decisions during games. Overall if you have a child looking to improve their game or gain more confidence on the field, the Tiempo Soccer Academy is the place for you. You will not be disappointed.

The Tiempo Soccer Academy allowed my daughter to train, even when Covid-19 shutdown the world. The training helped her keep soccer alive. She improved on her foot skills and learned to train on her own too. We loved the 30 days goals. It helped her focus on structure and dedication.

My twin girls had the opportunity to attend TIEMPO SOCCER training by coach Fernando. He is a great trainer, and a role model for the kids. He is passionate, patient, and knowledgeable. His motto is ‘ you are here to get better ‘. My girls soccer ability, skills and, confidence have improved tremendously. I highly recommend his soccer training program; high quality and very affordable.

Coach Fernando is an excellent trainer. He is dedicated and passionate about soccer and is awesome with kids. My daughter's skills have really developed in the time she has trained with him.

Fernando has been amazing at training both my kids. I have a 13 yo daughter and 10 yr old son and I’ve seen them drastically improve their skills. I highly recommend Fernando. He is flexible, professional and super knowledgeable at his craft, and above all, kids LOVE him!

Fernando coached my son for three months and I can't say enough about what a great experience it was. First and foremost my son had fun, learned so much and gained confidence. Fernando was patient and encouraging - just what you need in a coach - and was spot on in his training! I'd definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a soccer coach!

An amazing experience! My two kids (Juliana and John Paul) had the opportunity of being coached by Fernando for one year. He is a great coach. He identified my children’s strengths and focuses in their weaknesses teaching them different kinds of skills that make my kids feel more confident. As a parent I recommend Tiempo Soccer because I noticed how my kids improved during this period... very dedicated, patient and organized.

Amazing trainer who personalizes training sessions for your child like nobody else. I highly recommend you call Fernando to experience his training program!

Coach Fernando is amazing. My daughters skills has improved since working with him, he is an excellent trainer. He is dedicated and passionate about soccer and is awesome with kids. His ability to motivate my daughter to improve her game and keep it fun is at the same time is priceless.
