Coach Elise was born and raised in Buffalo, NY where her passion for the game of soccer began. At the age of 5, her mother enrolled her in a youth soccer program and little Elise fell in LOVE with being on a "team" with all her new friends and an awesome coach to help teach her what soccer was really all about, having FUN! But 10 years later, at age 15, she got her first job coaching soccer for that very same recreation center. Throughout the years of her coaching career, coach Elise has had the amazing opportunity to share her passion for how the game of soccer can positively impact the lives of children and their communities. She hopes to inspire kids to pursue the sport that has taught her so much! She brings 5 years of experience coaching at Soccer Shots in Maryland.

Coach Sergio was born in Bogotá, Colombia and has been playing soccer both recreationally and competitively for as long as he can remember. Growing up in the bustling city, he would play anywhere he could find. He was overjoyed to discover the large, lush fields suburban Orlando had to offer when he moved to the U.S. at the age of seven. Sergio’s 5+ years of experience working as an entertainer and photographer has harnessed his joy of working alongside children. He cannot stress enough how rewarding it is every day not only to teach his favorite sport, but to also help kids grow and have an actively positive impact on the community.
