Samba Soccer Program is powered by Sporting Brookside, directed by Nacho Garrido and overseen by Sporting Brookside’s Director of Coaching, Tato Chiaparro.
The program is designed to teach players the fundamental technical, tactical, and physical aspects of soccer. As with any group learning environment, various factors can influence the experience. The Samba Soccer Program does not guarantee a winning season. Individual progress depends on each player's ability to comprehend game situations, interpret scenarios, and apply their physical skills to execute the concepts presented in each session.
