Who We Are

At La French Touche, we are passionate about shaping the next generation of soccer players by combining world-class training with the unique flair of the French soccer philosophy. As motivated athletes with a strong work ethic and a deep connection to the sport, we aim to inspire others to achieve greatness.

Founded by Florian Valot, a French professional soccer player with experience in top European academies (e.g., Paris Saint Germain and Monaco) and in the US (e.g., NCAA, USL, and MLS), our mission is to provide players with personalized and high-quality coaching.

We bring the experience, expertise, and dedication to excellence to help players build a solid foundation, nurture their potential, and elevate their game. Our journey has taught us valuable lessons and skills that we are eager to pass on to others who share a love for soccer and a drive for success.

Soccer (or football, as it's known in Europe) is rapidly growing in the United States, with the 2026 FIFA World Cup marking a pivotal moment in its evolution. With new infrastructure and thriving professional leagues, we believe soccer will continue to grow in popularity - rivalling that of the NFL, MLB, and NBA. With over 3.5 billion fans globally, soccer’s growing popularity in the U.S. positions it to be a sport that will drive community domestically, and serve as a connectivity point with the rest of the world. This means that we now have the opportunity to shape the narrative of what the future of soccer looks like.

We specialize in creating an environment where players can help shape the future of U.S. Soccer. Our structured clinics, camps, and private coaching sessions seek to develop their technical skills, tactical awareness, mental fortitude, and love for the game. Our focus is on delivering individualized training tailored to each player’s needs, ensuring they have the tools to succeed on and off the field.
