The environment that DMV BALLERZ has created is something special. Every session I've ever been to has always had such a high standard while being extremely competitive. Jerry is somebody who will push you to get better every single day while still making the sessions fun. I'm so thankful that I've been fortunate enough to be apart of the family.

I have worked with Jerry and DMV Ballerz for a long time, and the training has always been top-notch. Whenever I am back in the DMV, I always train with Jerry to remain fit and sharp in the offseason. I can always count on sessions that involve some of the most talented players from the DMV area and help me improve as a player.

We are so grateful to have found Jerry! His energy, knowledge, experience, and preparedness for every training session set the gold standard. Both of my teenage children love training with Jerry and their soccer skills have notably improved and allowed them to get closer to reaching their soccer goals. He is also able to train at a variety of levels and mix and match players to maximize their experience. I can't recommend him enough!
