POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

@joinjabari as he walks into his first @mlsnext Academy tryout with @azzurristormsoccer ⚽️

Tryout season always brings nerves, questions, pressure, and possibility… but one of the best parts is seeing familiar faces and players all chasing the same dream.

No matter what level a player is at or where he reaches, moments like this matter. The walk in. The butterflies. The check-in table. The first touch. The feeling that something bigger could be ahead.

We’re grateful the experience matched the moment.
And trust me… this was only the beginning.
Stay tuned for the reaction to the email we received after tryouts 👀

Special shoutout to shirt sponsor @bolingeragency for supporting the journey. For commercial, home, auto, and life insurance needs, be sure to check them out.

Some moments feel scripted, even when they’re real.

The day after MLS NEXT tryouts, we got the email that 12 year old @JoinJabari had officially earned a spot on the 2026–2027 MLS NEXT Academy Division team with @AzzurriStormSoccer.

And that same night, our entire family was sitting in the stands watching @fc.naples face @orlandocitysc in a Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup match.

Perfect timing. Full circle moment.

What makes it even more meaningful is that Azzurri Storm is an Orlando City affiliate, so while we were watching one level of the game unfold in front of us, another door was quietly opening behind the scenes.

That’s the part people don’t always see about youth soccer:
The private training.
The confidence battles.
The sacrifices made as a family

All the things that happen long before anyone ever sees the player who gets the “Congratulations” message.

The moments where development matters more than attention.
Where preparation matters more than popularity.
Where knowing your worth matters more than settling.

This wasn’t just about making a team.
It was a reminder to trust God's perfect timing he knows how to order your steps and protect you from spaces not meant for when you stay prepared, keep showing up, and use discernment.

And for Jabari, this is only the beginning. Be sure to follow along. As a complete athlete he is documenting the journey, not just the destination.

This one is for the soccer UNDERDOGS....

You don’t have to be the biggest, strongest, or fastest.
Just don’t let anyone outwork you.

Thank you coach Javier of @theuntdacademy & @galacticosporteam

WHO deserves the GOLD medal in our family's Backwards Running Challenge? 🥇😂

After a soccer-filled Saturday, you'd think we'd be DONE running!

@zaharizone played his first recreational soccer game, @rastafarirules had a tough league game, and @joinjabari refereed his very first soccer game! ⚽️👏🏾

Meanwhile, @safarirosed , who's been busy with gymnastics (more than soccer) these days, and I were holding down the cheering section! 📣❤️

After all that, most families would go home, shower, eat, and RELAX.

Not this family. 😂

We got home and decided to try the viral reverse running trend. And somehow, EVERYBODY was convinced they could do it better than the next person! 🤣

Even the cheerleaders came ready to compete!

This is us. The @DorvalDynasty! A little competitive, a whole lot of laughter, and apparently incapable of sitting still. ❤️

Now we need some unbiased Olympic judges! Watch all six runners before casting your vote in the comments! 🥇👇🏾

Part 2: Round 3. A PS5 still on the line… and this is where everything changed. 👀⚽️🎮

If you watched Part 1, you already know somehow I was more nervous than Jabari. 😂 But I was NOT expecting this challenge to play out the way it did.

And as much as I love watching him compete under pressure, one of my favorite parts was watching these boys compete hard while still cheering each other on. ❤️ You can want to win and still root for somebody else. More of THAT in youth sports.

And then there’s the prize. 😂

We had never owned a gaming console. I’ve never been big on video games and honestly had no plans to buy one. Before the challenge, Jabari even asked me, “If I win it, can I keep it?”

Well… I told him yes. 😂

You’ll have to watch what happened next. 👀

Parents, I’m curious: Are video games a yes, no, or yes-with-limits in your house? 🎮

About 20 kids. One crossbar challenge. And a PS5 on the line. 👀⚽️🎮

Jabari was one of the last few to take his first shot, and somehow “SV5” became the nickname everyone was chanting. 😂❤️

But by Round 3, the pressure was UP… and somehow I was the nervous one. 😩😂

And Round 3 changed EVERYTHING. 👀

Follow for Part 2.

They could’ve been doing anything else on a Wednesday night… instead, these boys volunteered to be ball boys at a professional soccer match! ⚽️💚

FC Naples defeated the Richmond Kickers 2-0 in @uslleagueone action, but these young Azzurri Storm players were paying attention to more than the scoreboard.

Finley (far left), a U13 defender, said, “I got to see my position up close.”

Meanwhile, U12 @rastafarirules and U13 @joinjabari couldn’t stop talking about former Azzurri player turned FC Naples pro @ty.collins1.
“He’s the perfect wing man.”
“He’s not afraid to cut in.”
“He takes the 1v1s.”
“He farms for fouls.” 😂
That last one was new to me!

And the full-circle moment? Jabari and Ras Tafari were ball boys at Ty’s professional debut. Now they’re watching him contribute an assist in another FC Naples victory, to "own the east."

Thank you @azzurristormsoccer 💜 for giving these boys another opportunity to experience @fc.naples up close!

Sometimes the best soccer lessons happen when you’re not the one playing. And seeing someone who once wore your club’s jersey playing professionally makes that next level feel a little closer. 💚

Have your young athletes had the opportunity to attend a professional soccer match? ⚽️ What stood out to them afterward? I’d love to hear their experiences! 👇🏽

They got to see this 🔥 goal up close… but what happened after might be the part they remember most. 🥹⚽️

Our boys got to be ball boys with some of their @azzurristormsoccer teammats tonight. And thye got to see @fc.naples picked up a 2-0 win over the Richmond Kickers. We caught the entire goal in real time. @ty.collins1 with the assist and @gio_mig9 with the finish. 🔥👏🏾

After the game, both of them took the time to come over and take pictures with the boys. Gio even jumped over the barrier to get to them.💪

And just when I thought I was taking a picture of Jabari and Ras Tafari with Gio, I hear little Zahari:
“Mommy, can I get in the picture?” 😂🥹
Of course you can, buddy.

Goals are exciting. Wins are exciting. But sometimes it’s the few extra seconds a player gives a kid that become the core memory.

Great game. Even better night. ⚽️💙🤍💛💜

Our coaches apparently range from 2 months old to 1 MILLION years old. 😭⚽️😂

We asked some of our @azzurristormsoccer coaches how many years they’ve been coaching… then did this viral trend done to teachers where we turned them into that age. 😂

Our "youngest" coach is also a current player @fc.naples. @kevoconnor08 And yes, coach Chris Gores really said “one million.” We eventually got his real answer: 16 years. 😭

All jokes aside, there’s a reason we chose to share this today. Happy National Coaches Day! 💜⚽️

This is only some of our coaches, but the appreciation goes to ALL of them. Thank you for the time, patience, knowledge, and energy you pour into these players and for the role you play in their development on and off the field.

Now we want to know… 👀
How old would YOUR coach be?
Drop their years of coaching below! 👇

When a football player 🏈 tries futbol/soccer ⚽️ skills for the first time… 👀

Sebastian plays American football, but he told his cousin @JoinJabari he wanted to learn how to juggle a soccer ball.

Next thing I know, Jabari promoted himself to Coach. 😭😂
“Not fast, but stable.”
“Be calm.”
“Like walking.”
Okayyyy Coach Jabari. 😂👏🏾

But I actually love what happened here.

Sebastian stepped outside of what he already knows and try something completely different. And Jabari had to figure out how to teach a skill instead of just knowing how to do it.

Two athletes. Two different kinds of football. Both learning something. 🏈🤝🏾⚽️

Now Sebastian is a rookie, so don’t cook him TOO badly. 😂

But I actually need scores for BOTH of them…
👨🏾‍🏫 Teacher Jabari: ___/10
🏈 Student Sebastian: ___/10

Soccer coaches… y’all have some explaining to do. 😭⚽️😂

We’ve all seen it during soccer training:

Coach: “This is how you do the drill.”
Pass. Move. Support. Demonstrate everything perfectly…

Then it’s time to actually SHOOT and they don't 👀😂
But not this coach.

He said “ YOU WANT ME TO SHOOT IT!” and actually took the shot himself. 🔥

🎯 Technique: smooth.
⚽ Confidence: 100%.
🥅 Crossbar: who put it there. 😂

But hey… at least Coach @phenixvpaul took the shot. Respect. 🤝🏾 He doesn't just talk the talk he walks the walk.

Players: do your coach actually finish the drills they demonstrates?
And coaches… be honest do you. 👀😂👇🏾
