Coach Cortes

Coach Cortes is a native of Cali, Colombia. He is a life-long lover and player of The Beautiful Game!! He started coaching for the Palumbo Soccer Club in 2006. He led his first squad to a finalist position in his first season and then moved his team to the “B” division, where they have also excelled. Under his leadership, his squad has been able to compete against some of the most prominent clubs in the area.

Cortes prides himself in using the leadership and mentoring skills he has learned as a former service member and as a current grade school teacher to provide challenging, yet accessible goals that players can feel proud of accomplishing. He believes firmly in the process of learning, and sees soccer as an intellectual game of “chess in motion."
