A native of Peru, where the “beautiful game is played”, Gino started playing at the age of 5, came to the USA at age 13, and was lucky enough and able to play at every level, including the professional ranks prior to the demise of the NASL and ASL in the 80’s.
He has 43 years of coaching/training experience in youth soccer, and have placed many boys and girls in top university programs and professional ranks nationally and internationally.
- He has worked as a Scout for DC United Academy
- Worked with the Washington Spirit as a Youth Programs Director
- Currently holds a National “B” license thru the USSF
- A USC (formerly known as NSCAA) National Goalkeeping Diploma
- A Coerver Diploma
He emphasizes teaching proper technical skills, to master the ball, and play an attractive and entertaining possession style of soccer. Soccer is a way of life, it allows a coach to teach players proper life skills, that they can apply in other aspects of their lives. His mission in life is to instill a passion for this beautiful game, and pass on what I have learned in this beautiful journey. Futbol runs in his veins!
