Player-first development built on purpose, discipline, and long-term growth.

At AFC Surge Training, our mission is to develop complete players — technically sound, tactically aware, and mentally prepared for the demands of the modern game.

We aim to create an environment where players are challenged, supported, and held to high standards, while still enjoying the process of learning and improving. Every session is designed with intention, progression, and the individual player in mind.

Development comes first. Winning follows.

Shemmy Lashley
Founder & Head Trainer — AFC Surge Training

I’m a former competitive player and current coach with over a decade of experience in the game as both an athlete and a mentor. Soccer has been a constant in my life for more than 11 years, shaping how I approach development, leadership, and accountability.

My coaching philosophy is rooted in real player development — technical quality, decision-making under pressure, and understanding the game beyond just drills. I believe great players aren’t built by shortcuts or hype, but through consistent work, clear standards, and intentional training environments.

I hold my USSF Grassroots Coaching License and have worked with players across a wide range of ages and levels, from developing youth players to competitive athletes looking to refine their game. Whether I’m running a private session, small group training, or team work, my focus remains the same: help players grow with confidence, clarity, and purpose.

AFC Surge was created to give players access to structured, thoughtful training that prioritizes development over results — because results come when the foundation is strong.
