I’m Tyler Pagano, founder of Balance Soccer. I work with players of all ages and skill levels to build their technical ability, understanding of the game and confidence on the field.
​

MY APPROACH
​
Training should help you solve the situations you face in a game. Through individual coaching, small-group training and film study, we work on your skills, your decisions and how you see the field. My goal is to help you grow as a player while enjoying the process.
​

MY BACKGROUND
​
I grew up playing with Chicago Sockers FC and went on to play NCAA Division I soccer at UMass and Valparaiso. After college, my playing experience included Indiana Invaders FC and time in Bolivia.
​
I began coaching at Wabash College, moved to Portland in 2014 and founded Balance Soccer in 2016. My coaching background also includes serving as an Oregon ODP Head Coach and Regional Training Center Director. I’ve been involved with Fields of Dreams Uganda since 2019.
