Albertin Montoya
Considered one of the best youth soccer coaches in the world, Albertin Montoya is the founder of MSA Camps and the curriculum our campers learn. Montoya began coaching at MVLA, one of the top youth clubs in the country, after sustaining a knee injury as a professional soccer player for the San Jose Clash. Montoya relied on his endless amount of enthusiasm and passion for the game to benefit young players.
Currently, Albertin is the head coach of the expansion team, Bay FC of the NWSL. In the last decade and a half as the Technical Director of MVLA, he has helped produce a continuous stream of youth national team players and Division I University scholarship recipients. Coach Albertin is looking forward to exposing his curriculum to new players across Northern California.
