What are people saying about Coach Merola?
“In addition to improvements in his technical skills, our son's football IQ has flourished since he started working with Coach Merola. He's not only a smarter player, he's having more fun on the pitch.”
“Tony has an easy manner and an enthusiastic approach that brings out the best in players of all ages and abilities. He is dedicated to developing skills, nurturing talent and sharing his love of football.”
“I have known Tony 30 years since our days together at Wrexham Football Club. Even then he displayed a deep knowledge of the game and there was never any doubt he would go on to be a top coach. I would have no hesitation recommending Tony to anybody who was thinking about the development of their child.”
“I have know Tony for over 15 years and have always been impressed by his impact on both his programs and on his players. I've witnessed him work at all levels of football and his energy and passion for the game have always shone through.”
“Coach Tony was such a positive influence on my son and his team. At the beginning of the season they looked like they were 1 level above bumble bee soccer but by the end of the season were using the entire field and playing positions properly. He connected with the kids through their passion for soccer and helped them continue to love the sport.”
“Whilst playing ECNL under Coach Merola he helped me develop my game as an offensive minded player which helped open up pathways for me to play in England. The knowledge he has of the game and experience of working with all kinds players makes him an excellent coach that anyone would be lucky to play for.”
