— Nassau County, Long Island
FOR THE LOVE OF SOCCER
Training youth 6-17 on the skills they need to become confident, competitive players. Whether they’re learning to play, or ready to excel at higher levels, Tiempo can help your kid get there.
Tiempo: Time for The Game
Team practice has a lot to accomplish. Coaches have to teach strategy, prepare for games, manage a full roster, and help the team learn to play together.
Tiempo gives young players dedicated time to work on their individual game.
We help players build the technical skills that make soccer more fun to play: better control, stronger footwork, more confidence with the ball, and the ability to make decisions under pressure.
For a brand-new player, that can mean walking onto the field knowing what to do.
For an experienced player, it can mean developing the skills that help them stand out.
Wherever they’re starting, we help them become more confident with the ball at their feet.

We’ve had a great experience with Tiempo Soccer Academy! The coaches are knowledgeable, encouraging, and truly care about the players’ development both on and off the field. My son has grown so much in his skills, confidence, and love for the game.**Highly recommend!** Thank you coach Fernando and coach Sam!Posted on Google![]()

Our son has had an incredible experience at Tiempo Academy Soccer. The coaches are not only knowledgeable and dedicated, but also genuinely friendly and supportive. What stands out most is how much the coaches care about each child, both as a player and as a person. The academy has been a wonderful place for our son to learn, grow, and make great memories. Our only regret is that we didn't find Tiempo Academy sooner! Unfortunately, we're relocating and won't be able to continue, otherwise we would gladly stay. We are so grateful for everything the coaches and staff have done and highly recommend Tiempo Academy to any family looking for a top-notch soccer program.Posted on Google![]()

Tiempo has been an excellent supplemental training program for my boys. The coaches really focus on the small details that make a big difference, and everything is run in a very organized and professional way. We’ve been with them for three seasons now, and I’ve seen real improvement in both skill and confidence. The coaches are fantastic—knowledgeable, attentive, and great with the kids. Highly recommend for anyone looking to take their soccer training to the next level.Posted on Google![]()

We’ve had such a wonderful experience with this soccer program. The coaches are incredibly patient, kind, and truly understand how to work with kids in a positive and encouraging way. What stands out most is their focus on teaching a growth mindset — they consistently remind the players that effort, learning, and persistence matter more than being perfect. I’ve absolutely seen my son’s soccer skills improve since joining, but even more importantly, I’ve watched his confidence grow week after week. He’s more willing to try new things, bounce back from mistakes, and believe in himself both on and off the field. It’s clear the coaches care not just about developing better players, but about helping kids grow into confident, resilient young people. We’re so grateful to be part of this program.Posted on Google![]()

We’ve had a wonderful experience with Tiempo Soccer. Coach Fernando always communicates clearly and consistently with us, which we truly appreciate as parents. Coach Bruno is the best goalie coach Ryan has ever had. He pushes Ryan to reach his full potential, teaching him new skills every single week while continuing to challenge and motivate him. At the same time, he is kind, supportive, and patient. He has a playful, big-brother energy that the kids absolutely love. Ryan gets so excited to go to training every week, which says everything. We’re very grateful to be part of the Tiempo Soccer family! ⚽️Posted on Google![]()

Maria Contreras
My daughter was nervous at first, but the coaches at Tiempo Soccer Academy helped her build real confidence on the field. The drills were clear and the feedback made her feel ready to try new moves. She left each session feeling more sure of her skills and excited to keep playing. I’d definitely recommend their youth soccer coaching for anyone wanting to boost their confidence. It has truly been an extraordinary experience.
