Soccer Zone SCV Family
Our Story
Soccer Zone SCV is a family-owned training program created by the Neri family, right here in Santa Clarita.
​
Kayelin was born and raised in Santa Clarita and has always been deeply connected to the community. Erik came to the United States when he was 10 years old and later made Santa Clarita his home as a young adult. Today, this is where we are proudly raising our four children.
​
Soccer has always been a big part of our lives. Through years of playing, coaching, and watching our own children grow in the game, we've seen firsthand how powerful soccer can be for young players. It builds confidence, discipline, teamwork, and resilience that carry far beyond the field.
​
As parents ourselves, we understand how important it is to find a positive environment where children feel encouraged, supported, and excited to learn. That's why we created Soccer Zone SCV -- to provide a place where players can develop strong technical skills, grow in confidence, and truly enjoy the game.
​
In a world that can sometimes feel chaotic, we believe sports can be a place where kids find focus, encouragement and community.
​
We are grateful to serve the Santa Clarita Valley and are passionate about helping the next generation of players train, improve, and excel.
