Where you become confident on the ball
Welcome to
The Training Pitch!
We develop confidence on the ball. We’re Buffalo’s only TECHNICAL SOCCER DEVELOPMENT ACADEMY. Our long term goal is to put Buffalo on the map for producing incredible players all the way up to the USA national team level. We provide supplemental technical soccer training to players in Buffalo. Our development programs are inclusively designed to help each player achieve each level of their technical abilities. We instill in our players to constantly be on the ball and to play the game as much as possible whether it’s with their club, with us, with their friends or on their own. Lastly, we train players on how to train themselves. They’ll learn how to perform all of the touches, shots, moves or passes they’ve always wanted to in games, but never had the ability or confidence to deliver.

Recent Coaching Testimonials
“Paul has an incredible passion and calling to teach and serve motivated players. When you pair this with his playing experiences and background any young player would be lucky to have him as their mentor. I highly recommend working with Coach Paul.”
Nate Bourdeau | Founder
Bourdeau’s Skill School (Largest private Soccer academy on the east coast)
“Many parents and coaches have noticed the change, and when they ask about it, we proudly say, “It’s all thanks to Paul at The Training Pitch!” Paul’s personalized approach and expertise in coaching have made a world of difference. If you're in the Buffalo area and looking to elevate your child’s soccer game, The Training Pitch is the place to go!”
Dad of Training Pitch Player | U9
“Paul worked with my house team for a few sessions. He did an outstanding job with the players. He understand the technical, tactical, and strategic game. We were able to divide the practice into different sessions to focus on specific skills we needed to work on. Not only is Paul very helpful for the players, he will also give parents and coaches great advice for their players. I was also looking for feedback on my son's travel team routine, and Paul was familiar with all the clubs and approaches. He does an excellent job all the way around.”
Brian Liable | Amherst U10B Coach
“Coach Paul did an amazing job tailor making training sessions for our U16 boys and U16 girls teams. He brought a fresh approach and was engaging with the kids. He is quickly able to assess skill level and then create drills appropriately. Highly recommend!!”
Tony Manetta | Lancaster U16B Coach
“Coach Paul and The Training Pitch should train every serious player in Buffalo.”
Asani Samuels | Director of Coaching
Delaware Soccer Club
“My daughter has been working with Coach Paul for the last couple months and is loving it! She plays on two teams (travel and premier), but the extra sessions she has had with Coach Paul keep her moving forward toward her goals. She always gets back in the car with a smile on her face saying how much fun she had and asks when the next session will be. We travel almost an hour for her to work with him because the connection between player and coach makes all then difference!”
Mom of Training Pitch Player | U11
“Paul is an excellent coach whom I had the pleasure to work with. Paul trained our u16 girls travel team - he demonstrated connecting with each player on their level, helping the individual improve with smart, intentional, clever training engaging the girls in a fun atmosphere while working on fundamental skills critical to their on field success. I’ve come across his sessions throughout the summer noticing his consistent approach across all age groups. Highly recommend!!”
