Daniel Alkmim – Founder
BR Elite Soccer Club was founded by Daniel Alkmim, a former elite player with solid experience in both futsal and field soccer. Born and raised in Brazil, Daniel honed his skills at the renowned Zico Academy, where he trained under mentors from the Brazilian National Team and Zico himself — one of the greatest legends in the history of Brazilian football.
After standing out in Brazil, Daniel continued his career in the United States, competing at the collegiate level in NCAA Division I and Division II. His playing style blended the creativity and flair of Brazilian football with the physical preparation and tactical structure of American college competition. Unfortunately, his professional aspirations were cut short by injuries, but his passion for the sport only grew stronger.
Daniel transitioned into a coaching career with the mission of passing on his high-level knowledge to the next generation. Through BR Elite Soccer Training, he built a reputation for technical excellence, game intelligence, and a unique player-centered approach. Now, with the creation of BR Elite development academy, his goal is to provide athletes with both top-tier training and the help them bring it to the competitive platform of the SOCAL Soccer League.
