Fabian Amezaga has been a part of the Santa Monica family since 2012, with nearly 20 years of experience coaching Youth Soccer. In his time with Santa Monica, he has served as a coach for both Boys and Girls at the middle and high school level, celebrating numerous Championships and Promotions over the years. His accomplishments include 2nd Place in California Regional League, qualifying for USYS National League for the 2019-2020 season and qualifying for 2019 Far West Regional’s with the G01.

Fab was the recipient of the CalSouth Nike Excellence in Coaching Award in 2016 and is current holder of a USSF “B”License which he obtained in 2018.

In his practices, Fab focuses on player’s personal growth and team play. He is a strong believer that no one player is bigger than the team. Fab believes that soccer is truly a team sport and that a team does not depend on individual star players, but rather the cohesiveness of the entire roster working towards one main goal and objective. “Soccer is about making sure we do the simple things really well. In training’s I push the players to problem solve and find solutions that they will encounter on match days.”

Fab lives in Santa Monica and when he is not on the soccer field, he spends time with his wife, 14 year old daughter and 12 year old son. Fab is looking forward to collaborating with his fellow ALBION Santa Monica Coaches to develop your daughters and take them to the next level.
