Chicago Soccer School

Hey there! I'm Coach Kevin Rayo.

With 10 years of Freestyle Soccer experience, I, Kevin Rayo, have organized my own school teaching others the art of Freestyle Football and Street Soccer around the Chicago area. At the age of 16, I turned my life around when I started to practice ball tricks at home as nothing more than a pass time. I quickly developed a passion for Freestyle Soccer as time passed and the further my skills improved.

What Is Freestyle Football?

Freestyle Football, or Freestyle Soccer, is a young sport that involves juggling a soccer ball. You are not restricted to juggling the ball with only your feet, and are allowed to control the ball using any part of your body. Freestyle is not only a sport, it is an art of self-expression through ball tricks. It creatively combines soccer tricks with acrobatics, music, and dancing. Freestyle Football is more of an individual sport while traditional Football is a team sport.

Why I Started Chicago Soccer School

I started Chicago Soccer School because I realized that everybody fails a lot when they are beginners. That is why most sports have coaches. But unlike traditional Soccer, or even Basketball, Freestyle Football is a new sport. Because of this, Freestyle Football lacks the proper role models who can guide the newcomers in the right direction.

My goal is to help the Freestyle Football community grow bigger, especially out here in Chicago. Chicago is unfortunately known for its gang and gun violence. Instead of being well known for something negative, I believe that together we can change Chicago and replace gang culture with Freestyle Football culture!

Our Focus

Over the years of practicing Freestyle Football, I've learned many lessons. I've learned that there are 4 different styles of doing ball tricks: Lowers, Uppers, Sitdowns, and Groundmoves.

I have also learned that in order to go from a beginner to advanced level, it is important to focus on the 25% of the skills that get you the other 75% of the results.

If you could focus your improvement on just 2 of these styles of ball skills, you will be impressing your loved ones in no time!
