PLAY. FUTURE.
CHALLENGE.
At PFC Soccer Academy, we don’t just teach soccer skills. Built around PLAY, FUTURE and CHALLENGE, we nurture independence through sport.
Grow while having fun
Think and act for yourself
Take on challenges without fear of failure
Every child grows differently, and nobody needs to be good from the start. At PFC, we value not just results but the process of trying. Rather than coaches giving every answer, we create an environment where children think, decide and act for themselves.
COACH / FOUNDER & HEAD COACH
Meeting the right coach
can change a child’s life.
Sport helped shape who I am today.
From a young age, I was passionate about soccer and many other sports. Through sport, I learned the importance of taking on challenges, supporting teammates, and experiencing the joy of saying, “I did it!” Now, I want to give children those same opportunities and create experiences that can become meaningful steps toward their future.

VOICES
Voices from Parents
“Coach Takao has a genuine gift for naturally switching on kids’ motivation and their desire to ‘get even better.’ As a parent, the difference between teaching and coaching really struck me — it was eye-opening. A coach who can do this is truly rare. He’s always upbeat and gives everything to every session. A coach we truly trust!!”
— Rio / Lino
“Thanks to Coach Takao’s motto of ‘let’s enjoy soccer together,’ there’s always laughter. Watched over by a coach he loves, my son plays freely, has grown in confidence, and is more into soccer than ever. Beyond technique, I feel he’s also nurturing kindness and a positive attitude among teammates in every lesson. The online lesson we recently joined also held the kids’ attention the whole way through. He’s a wonderful coach who genuinely cares about each child individually — as a parent, that means everything. Thank you, and we look forward to continuing with you.”
— Finn
“Coach Takao was our sons’ very first coach, and through him they learned not just the joy of soccer but the discipline it takes to stick with it and the value of teamwork. That early spirit became their driving force — now 19 and 16, they’re still playing soccer in the NPL. He supported them through the times when continuing felt hard, and in recent years has taught us so much about broadening a coach’s perspective and how to communicate with and watch over kids. We’re truly grateful for everything soccer has taught us through him.”
— Riku / Rui
