Richard Tacaraya

Richard Tacaraya was born in Cochabamba, Bolivia.  Richard has been playing and learning the beautiful art of the game ever since. 

"Having worked with Coach Tacaraya as our trainer for several seasons, I can honestly say his unique blend of technical knowledge and personal style develops players to reach their full potential. Not only is he an extremely qualified coach, but his experience with youth soccer enables him to tailor his training to challenge players of all ages and abilities. His motivational style brings out the best in these young players. He demands effort, focus and commitment from his players and they readily respond. Players enjoy his sessions and come away having learned something new about the game. He has just come on board as full time coach to address game play and team building issues and has already made an impact."  -Derek Furbank, Assistant Coach & Manager, SYC Surge '96 White U13 Boys
