Details About your Program
Welcome to Phoenix Sports! I'm Douglas Goldfein, the owner of Phoenix Sports, also known as Coach Donald Duck! We're thrilled to have you join us.
My Background:
I hold a Master’s degree in Education, with over 9 years of experience teaching TK-3 and 2 years as a PE coach in the Carlsbad Unified School District. With 15+ years in sports coaching, I founded Phoenix Sports while teaching kindergarten and coaching on weekends for a major franchise. My vision was to create a more personalized, high-quality program for children, and that's how Phoenix Sports came to life!
