TEST SOCCER ACADEMY
EXPERIENCED TRAINERS
About Us
WE PROVIDE AFFORDABLE PRIVATE, GROUP, AND TEAM SOCCER TRAINING AND FITNESS TRAINING THROUGHOUT THE LEHIGH VALLEY
Test Soccer Academy was founded by friends Tim Bacak and Jimmy Hoimes in December 2020 to share their passion for soccer with children and young adults throughout the Lehigh Valley! Out goal was to create a personal training company that could offer individuals of all skill-levels and backgrounds challenging, educational, and affordable private soccer training!
​
As the company grew, we added more coaches to expand our service offerings to include private and team-based goalkeeper training. In addition, as word spread, we began receiving calls from local soccer clubs to provide full-season team training.
​
However, perhaps one of our most exciting and fun offerings are our camps! We created two camps that run concurrently throughout the year, one for children ages 6 and younger and the second for children between the ages of 6 and 12. Our camps are open to children of all skill levels looking to learn, grown, make friends, and most importantly -- have fun playing the beautiful game of soccer!
