“My daughter was coached together with a core set of girls at the Gryphons Soccer Club, by Coach Ricardo Marta for almost 6 years (from age 8 to age 14). This set of girls, including my daughter, were coached by Coach Ricardo just 6 months after entering this competitive club playing in the NorCal league, after having played AYSO. Coach Ricardo transformed these enthusiastic little girls who barely understood the sport and evolved them into a Premiere League team in NorCal over these six years. And, he did this by developing the girls into a potent force that earned a name for itself by its patented style of modern soccer – a style that can best be described as a unique fusion of Tikki-Taka and creative Juego Bonito, based on Coach Ricardo’s deep philosophical beliefs in creative individual play blended with incisive team dynamics.“
