"Raphael Viana is an amazing goalie trainer but also an outstanding field trainer. His knowledge and understanding of kids in conjunction with his soccer training expertise makes him a unique and highly qualified trainer.

My 14 year old son is a perfect example. Raphael has trained him for the past two years and helped mold him into a goalie with confidence, technique and ability who thrives in the most competitive soccer environment. My 12 year old daughter, a forward,  gives him the same rave review."

"Our daughter Emily has been working with Raphael for a year and it is always amazing how he is able to adjust her technique and improve her game.  If she is struggling with any aspect of goalkeeping the first thing we do is call Raph."

"We were so lucky to have Coach Raph run our pre-school soccer class for four seasons. Raph helped the children build technical skills like stopping the ball and controlling it as well as passing and playing a position, all without the kids even realizing that they were doing “drills” because Raph was creative and made it so much fun! He has great rapport with kids; they listen to him and respect him and become stronger players as a result.

Raph also ran our pre-travel soccer summer class. As a former soccer player, I was very impressed when I saw Raph successfully teaching the kids how to verbally communicate plays to each other on the field – at ages 5 and 6! Now my daughter is in 1st grade she is playing recreation soccer, and every time a parent comments on what a strong player she is I tell them it is all because of Coach Raph. She can’t wait to try out for travel soccer next year, and it is because she got such a solid fundamental understanding of soccer and a love for the game from playing with Coach Raph."

"Coach Raph and the Go2 soccer program has been terrific for my children. The trainers are patient, organized and focused on not only having the children have fun, but have them learn foot skills, passing skills, organization and positioning- as opposed to just kicking the ball down the field and chasing. Both my sons spent a few years with Go2 Soccer and are now playing club soccer with PDA. I would strongly recommend this program for you 5-7 yr old children"

"Simply put, Raph and the Go2Soccer team is second to none. Coach Raph has known our boys since they were two. The boys are now eight and we can honestly say there have been few others who have had such a positive impact on our kids. Whether it was when the boys were two and three years old and they were too shy to get involved in a soccer class or more recently when Raph trained their soccer team, he was always there to support them with his patient, energetic and caring nature. Raph knows the definition of work-hard; play hard and I think that rubs off on the kids when they are around him! He has instilled a sense of confidence in our kids that few others have been able to do. Our kids know that, in Raph, they have a trusted coach, mentor and friend. Thank you to all of the coaches at Go2Soccer for teaching our boys the fundamentals of how to play the game and also showing them how much fun training hard can be."

"We moved to Short Hills and all my 6 year old at the time wanted was to take a soccer class.  
He by some amazing luck ended up in Coach Raph's class.  After that first class my son's face glowed when he went to and from soccer class.  I had never seen him so happy playing a sport with someone.  Raph made every single class more fun than the one before, he taught the kids at a level they could relate to.  He finds their strengths and also sees where they need improvement, and he always encourages them every step of the way, making them the best they can be.  My son was hysterically crying when he "aged out" of Go2Soccer and had to start with Town Travel, because in his eyes no one would ever be better than Coach Raph."
