About

ABOUT US

In 2025, Coach Alexander “Xander” Zimmerman was approached by a few local parents and asked to bring more trustworthy and affordable soccer opportunities to the Suffolk, Virginia, area in Hampton Roads. Since then, Coach Xander has partnered with Coach Gabriel “Gabe” Blakman to found Elevate Soccer.

​

Elevate Soccer was formed to help young players develop technical ability, confidence, decision-making, and competitive habits so they can perform more effectively in games and pursue their goals. Our program is open to all players ages 8 to 18, and it serves not only as developmental and elevated collegiate-level coaching, but also as a mentorship-based program where leadership and player development are grown through individual and group training sessions.

 

We are neutral-club and support all club-based programs. We are not loyal to any club nor promote leaving one for another. Our focus is mentoring you toward your goals, training, and helping you navigate your soccer career successfully.

​

Our mission is simple: provide structured, competitive, and development-focused soccer training for youth players in Hampton Roads. Every Elevate Soccer program will provide organized coaching, purposeful repetitions, competitive challenges, and clear feedback in a positive and professional environment.

SERVICES

  • Personalized coaching. Focused development. Real progress.
