Coach Bob from Super Soccer Stars! Really pushes every kid to a) have fun and b) be the best super soccer star they can be! Has a natural passion for kids and soccer, bringing a unique creativity to class, unlike other kids coaches in the area.

Coach Adam Blakis . Westside aquatics swim and water polo at Pali High School, he is motivating the kids , teaches them to swim or play to their potential and seems to hire other coaches who have the same work ethic as he.

Coach Torino Johnson of the girls basketball team for building up the whole program, taking us to CIF City Championship two years in a row, encouraging us both on and off the court, discipling us, shaping us to be better people, preparing us for what is to come after high school, and just simply being there through everything. <3
