Private, position-specific soccer training in New York City. Built around three pillars — Fitness, Speed & Agility, and Technical — for serious players who want measurable on-field results.
No magic drills. No social-media gimmicks. Every session is built from three deliberate pillars — applied with the intensity of a pro environment, scaled to where you actually are.
Engine, not effort.
Aerobic and anaerobic conditioning built around the demands of 90 minutes. Strength work that translates to first-step explosiveness, mid-game stamina, and end-of-match decision-making.
First yard wins.
Plyometrics, change-of-direction drills, deceleration mechanics, and reactive footwork. Engineered to make you the fastest player on the field — over five yards, not fifty.
Touch under pressure.
Ball mastery under fatigue, tight-space control, two-touch combinations, and finishing patterns. The details that separate the player who's called up from the one who isn't.
Gambeta was built out of a simple frustration: most private coaches teach the same generic drills. There's no plan, no progression, no feedback loop. Just an hour of cones and a Venmo request.
We do it differently. Every athlete gets an assessment, a position-specific plan, and quantifiable benchmarks — the way pro environments operate. We train year-round in NYC, indoors and on turf, in heat and snow.
“Absolutely fantastic personal training sessions. The workouts are intense, challenging, and tailored to your goals, helping you improve significantly.”
“Coach Pepe not only has an exceptional understanding of the game but also brings an infectious enthusiasm to each session.”
“Seeing my son's performance in just 4 months, the type of training my son receives with Coach is phenomenal.”
Fully tailored sessions. Assessment, plan, weekly progression, video feedback. The fastest route to measurable improvement.
2–4 players, matched by age and level. Competitive intensity with private-coach attention. Great for teammates or siblings.

We train at fields and turf facilities across NYC — based in Queens (65th Pl. & Shaler Ave, Ridgewood) with travel options to other boroughs and Westchester. Indoor in winter, outdoor when weather allows.
Youth players (U-10 through U-19), college-bound athletes, and adult recreational players who want to compete seriously. We turn down players who aren't ready to commit — it's not the right fit for casual training.
Most athletes feel a change in conditioning within 3–4 weeks, see measurable speed/agility gains in 6–8 weeks, and report visible game-day improvement in 12 weeks. We benchmark on day one and re-test on a schedule, so progress is documented — not vibes.
Yes, with a position-specific plan. Footwork, lateral acceleration, distribution under pressure, and aerobic conditioning calibrated to GK demands. Technical work covers handling, shot-stopping mechanics, and command of the box.
