Background

Ramon Zambrano was born in Mexico and moved to Richmond, California when he was 8 years old. Ramon spent most of his time playing unstructured soccer and pick up with his siblings, neighbors, and friends. He began playing structured and team soccer when he was introduced to The Boys & Girls Club. Ramon began playing with the ACC Mavericks from Berkeley, and was given the opportunity to play for competitive leagues and tournaments. He competed in the San Diego Surf Cup, the Schwan's USA Cup in Minnesota, and numerous tournaments throughout California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington and Arizona. In addition to his participation in competitive leagues, Ramon was a stand-out soccer player for Richmond High School’s Varsity Soccer Team during his four years as a student.  

Upon graduating, Ramon's passion for soccer continued and he began playing for San Francisco Premier League, one of the most competitive adult leagues in the East Bay. After playing for five years for the San Francisco Premiered League, Ramon discovered his passion for leadership on and off the field. Ramon began his coaching career with Richmond High School as an assistant coach for the JV team, and eventually moving on to coach the varsity team. Soon after, Ramon was offered the opportunity to coach youth soccer at the club level where he gained two years of experience.  

Ramon was thrilled to find out about Magic and their philosophy and decided to jump on board as a coach. Ramon hopes to share his experience, knowledge, and most importantly his passion for soccer with his teams and fellow coaching staff. The birth of his son further increased his desire to become involved in coaching so he can help instill in him the love and passion for soccer, and the work ethic, camaraderie, and values that the game of soccer has bestowed upon him.  

Fun Fact: Ramon's son Noah can often be seen watching and enjoying the games with his mother or kicking balls around on the field.
