About
Who am I?
My name is Scott Hoey. I'm a parent, a coach and a player. I grew up in South Jersey and now my wife and I are raising our children here.
Soccer has been a big part of my life for over 35 years. I'm very passionate about the sport. As a young player I competed at some of the highest levels of play that the country had to offer and that fire has never faded. I've consistently played and still currently play at least once a week. Whether I'm on a field playing, coaching a team, or glued to the TV watching the pros, the beautiful game still lights me up every day.
For the past decade, I've poured that same energy into coaching youth teams. Nothing brings me more joy than watching kids develop new skills, grow in confidence and improve at each event. As a parent myself, I completely understand you want training that's fun, positive, challenging, affordable and focused on real personal growth, not just winning trophies.
That's exactly what my Soccer training can provide. I try to meet each player where their skill level is and guide their next progressions. Time is important so I always show up prepared with high quality sessions that will help build technical ability and tactical understanding in a positive environment.
I'm Safe Sport trained. I have at least annual but usually biannual background checks done. 11/25 was my most recent fingerprint-based background check. I have a Level 1 coaching certification with SJGSL/SJYS and a US Soccer D license. Ill always update my background checks and coaching certifications. I aspire to coach Pro or at least Semi-Pro one day. I'm happy to travel to your field or a suitable space near you.
If you are looking for a coach that combines experience, passion and a genuine commitment to your child's development, I'd love to talk. Let's get your players on a path to progress!

Core Focus
Mental toughness is an important attribute that we constantly work to instill. It's a lifelong skill that will help young players overcome any challenge life throws at them. Mental strength also includes learning to concentrate on the things we can control and not getting caught up in the things we can't. Above all, confidence is built through consistent hard work and repetition. Real, measurable progress doesn't happen on Saturday or Sunday mornings. Good players invest time and effort the rest of the week so they can shine on game day.

Peer, Parent and Player Reviews
Ryan - Former Columbus Crew Player
"Scotty is a former teammate and an all around great guy. He's the kind of person who brings positive energy, laughs and hard work to everything he does. He's going to challenge your players to make progress while building their love for the game in a fun filled atmosphere."
Isabella - Player
"Coach Scott has been a huge part of my life for the past four years. He's always pushed me to work harder, believe in myself and not quit when things get hard. I've learned how important it is to stay focused and keep trying no matter what. Because of him, Ive grown a lot not just as a player,but as a person too. I honestly wouldn't be where I am today without everything he's taught me, both on and off the field."
Melanie - Parent
Coach Scott has been an incredible inspiration in my daughter's Soccer journey and in her life. Through his passion, dedication and genuine love for the game, he has pushed her to reach higher and believe in what she can achieve. The skills and confidence he has taught her have not only helped grow on the field, but have carried over into other areas of Soccer and life as well.
Rain, cold or tough conditions, Coach Scott always shows up with the same energy and commitment. He even created a YouTube channel to teach the girls tactics and skills they could apply in future games and those lessons were both effective and incredibly resourceful. His willingness to go above and beyond speaks volumes about how much he truly cares about his players.
Coach Scott also gave the team unforgettable opportunities to be inspired by arranging field trips to watch Carli Lloyd play along with other incredible athletes. Seeing these role models in action gave the girls something real to look up to and to strive for, helping them believe that their own dreams in Soccer are truly possible.
My daughter feels supported, motivated and proud of the progress she has accomplished because of him. I can't thank him enough for being such a positive influence and an amazing role model in my daughter's life."
Maria - Parent
"We have had the privilege of working with Coach Scott for the past four years, and I truly cannot recommend him highly enough! His knowledge of the game is exceptional, and it's clear that he genuinely lives and breathes Soccer. Beyond his technical expertise, what really sets him apart is his patience, positivity and, unwavering dedication to his players.
He consistently goes above and beyond, putting in significant time off of the field to thoughtfully plan training sessions that are both challenging and developmentally appropriate.
Coach Scott is also an excellent communicator with parents-clear, professional, and supportive-which makes the entire experience even more positive. We are incredibly grateful for the impact he has had over the years and would wholeheartedly recommend his private training to any p;ayer looking to improve in a supportive and knowledgeable environment."
Pat - Parent
