Our primary goal of the program is to help nurture a love of soccer in young players, to spark interest in learning more, and begin to build the players foundation based on:
- Psychomotor skills development, speed, balance, and agility
- Technical training, ball comfort, dribbling, and passing skills

MEET RECREATIONAL SOCCER DIRECTOR, ZAFER KILICKAN
Over a 20 year coaching career, I have had the opportunity to work with both boys and girls from the recreational level, youth competitive academies and college programs. As the Director of Recreational Soccer at De Anza Force, I am very excited to work with our younger players, developing their soccer skills, building self-confidence, and maximizing their potential. Our rec program at Force is guided by the principle that kids learn the game of soccer best by playing small-sided games in an environment that encourages a love for the ball. I want all of our players to thrive in the enjoyment of the practices and games, always wanting to come back for more!
Looking forward to seeing you on the field,
Coach Zafer
