Our Story
We believe the best way to learn is from someone who's been where you want to go. PTP connects young players with NCAA and professional athletes who don't just coach, they get on the field and play alongside your kids, teaching the individual skills that team coaches don't have time for.
It started in a backyard in Pennsylvania. No business plan. No branding. Just a kid who played at the highest level teaching neighborhood kids the things no team coach has time to teach.
"What if young players could train with someone who's actually lived the journey?"
The question that started everythingMeet Luke Martelli
He trained at the Philadelphia Union Academy. He plays at Villanova. Two ACL tears in fifteen months nearly took everything. But instead of walking away, he doubled down on the one thing he believed in: giving young players the mentorship he wished he'd had.

Two ACL surgeries. Fifteen months of doubt. One belief that never broke: players teach best. What started in a backyard now reaches hundreds of kids who train with athletes who get on the field and compete alongside them.
A Day in My Life
"Setbacks don't define you. Comebacks do."
Luke Martelli
MLS Players. Your Field.
They show up, lace up, and play alongside your kids. Not guest speakers. Real sessions. Real mentorship.
NCAA Division 1 Athletes
Hand-selected. Current D1 athletes who don't just instruct, they get on the field and play with your kids.
Your kid's club coach has 20+ players and limited time. The 1v1 moves, the creativity, the confidence? That gets left behind. PTP exists to fill that gap.
