"Tiempo"
(tyehm-poh) n. time
We focus on advancing technical skills, helping players find better comfort and confidence on the ball. This is why we're called "Tiempo," meaning "time" in Spanish. As we know every great player needs to have the ability to create time for themselves on the ball.

Our Motto: #HereToGetBetter
Not only do we say it at nearly every session but it's a constant reminder to players that the only reason we do anything is to get better. Whether on or off the field we look for self-improvement — learning, growing, and getting better.
“I think the quote, 'Be who you needed when you were younger,' pretty much sums it up for me. It reminds me why I do what I do. And keeps me focused on becoming the top quality coach and mentor kids need today."

Meet Our Founder
Coach Fernando started Tiempo to help youth players achieve their goals. His focus is on mentoring youth to reach their full potential on and off the field.
He started the program after years of coaching in various club and academy environments. He knew there was a gap in providing players with a program 100% focused on long-term development.
He started Tiempo because he wishes he had a program and mentor to guide his development when he was younger. Someone to teach him what he knows today.
Coach Fernando is excited to share his passion, knowledge, and experience with youth players who are eager to learn and improve. He is dedicated and invested in the individual success of all his players.
Hear From Our Happy Long Island Parents
“Players need a coach who can invest in and develop them on and off the field. Someone who can guide, mentor, and instill confidence in them. Many players are left behind or don't reach their full potential because they don't have someone helping them get there."
