Who we are
About Footskills Club
At Footskills Club, we're not just coaching soccer — we're building complete athletes. Our training system is the result of decades of professional experience and a deep passion for youth development.
Founded by Coach Nijat Gurbanov, a UEFA C-Licensed professional with an 18-year playing career and five years of youth coaching expertise, Footskills Club began in Pittsburgh in 2024. Today, we're proud to bring our proven method to young players in Los Altos, California.
What makes us different? It’s our holistic approach to player development. We start with technical mastery — the kind of ball control that every great player builds their game on. From there, we guide players through tactical understanding, physical conditioning, and mental resilience.
The Footskills Method:
Technical excellence through game-relevant repetition
Tactical awareness with position-specific instruction
Physical development tailored to each age group
Mental strength built through competition and challenge
All training sessions take place at our professional Grant Park facility, where small group sizes (max 12 players) ensure every athlete receives individual attention. We run monthly evaluations to track progress and tailor training to each player’s needs.
This is more than practice. It’s a structured, high-quality environment that helps young players grow in skill, confidence, and love for the game.
The path to better soccer starts here.
