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!


Meet The Coaches

Dimitris Hoimes
"Coach Jimmy"
Owner and Co-Founder
Dimitris "Jimmy" Hoimes co-founded Test Soccer Academy. He played soccer for Liberty High School and Ursinus College's club team, as well as helping to develop the now extensive pick-up soccer scene in the valley. Over the years, he has connected hundreds (if not thousands) of people with the sport in the area to pick-up games, training, viewing parties, and more. He believes soccer should be accessible to everyone and fights to make it that way. Jimmy specializes in the 'number 9' role as a box to box goal scoring and assisting midfielder. He still plays pickup games (albeit at a slower pace and without contact) despite a major spinal cord injury and refuses to give up on his dream of staying involved in the sport. Jimmy believes that every day matters in your soccer journey, and you practice how you play. Motivation, drive, and integrity are a huge part of his life. These skills were acquired during his playing career and apply to life outside of the game as well. Jimmy has an unmatched passion for the game and a zest for life which he hopes to imprint on to the next generation of players. Soccer is about building a personal culture of accountability and selflessness which can be used both on and off the field in order to succeed in any endeavor. 'If it was easy, everyone would do it!'
