About Us

They don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care!!

 
 

Coaching is in Bill and Stephanie’s genes....between the two of them, they have been coaching soccer for over 30 years as well as running soccer camps and coaching other recreational sports for over 20 years.  Their best teaching methods come from learning with the players in a positive and enjoyable environment. Bill Hempen and Stephanie Hempen believe in building a community where people of all ages (child to adult) can explore the endless challenges and rewards of team sports and individual sports. Their programs will help you and/or your child succeed.


AP2P’s staff share their same learning values. They are qualified and dynamic teachers. The staff consists of college coaches, college students and high school aged students who have a dream to some day be a coach.
