Local Leadership:
Raul Diaz, Director: Raul’s passion for soccer developed at an early age in his hometown of Barcelona, Spain. As a junior, he played professionally with both Real Madrid CF and FC Barcelona affiliated clubs. His dedication to the game led him to continue his soccer career in the Spanish league. Raul not only enjoys playing soccer, he loves sharing his enthusiasm for the sport with children. Raul has coached several teams in Barcelona, including FC Barcelona affiliated clubs for players under the age of 12. While he finds joy in coaching competitively, he also thinks it’s essential to instill a sense of fun when teaching children soccer skills. Raul believes that when children have fun engaging in a sport, they are inspired to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle. Since moving to California from Spain two years ago, Raul has actively pursued opportunities to play and teach soccer. He currently plays with International FC in the Marin Men’s League.
