San Jose, CA – November 23, 2025 – The roar of the crowd at PayPal Park still echoes through the Bay Area after an electrifying 2025 NWSL Championship presented by Google Pixel, where NJ/NY Gotham FC clinched a thrilling victory over the Washington Spirit in a match that showcased the pinnacle of women’s professional soccer. But beyond the pitch, where stars like Trinity Rodman dazzled with their footwork, the real magic unfolded off-field in the Google Pixel booth – thanks to an innovative activation by Coerver Coaching that turned fans and players alike into skill-sharpening enthusiasts.

Coerver Coaching, renowned worldwide for its dynamic soccer skills programs that emphasize creativity, technique, and fun, teamed up with Google Pixel to create an unforgettable interactive experience during Championship Weekend. Held on November 22 at the home of Bay FC and the San Jose Earthquakes, the event drew thousands of passionate supporters eager to celebrate women’s soccer while getting hands-on with the latest in mobile tech and training drills.

The Google Pixel Skills Zone: Where Fans Became Players

At the heart of the activation was the Google Pixel Skills Zone, a vibrant booth buzzing with energy, custom soccer tennis setups, and Pixel-powered photo ops. Here, attendees weren’t just spectators – they became participants in bite-sized Coerver sessions designed to “unlock” new abilities, mirroring Google Pixel’s tagline of capturing life’s extraordinary moments. From quick footwork challenges captured in ultra-sharp Pixel videos to precision passing games synced with the phone’s seamless AI features, the booth blended cutting-edge technology with timeless soccer fundamentals.

Leading the Charge: TR Stoneback & Katie Miyake from Coerver Northwest

Leading the charge were TR Stoneback and Katie Miyake, the dynamic duo from Coerver Northwest, the Pacific region’s powerhouse arm of the global Coerver empire.

“Soccer is about connection – on the field and off. Partnering with Google Pixel let us show fans how a simple drill can spark joy and confidence, all while they snap epic memories on their phones.” — TR Stoneback, Coerver Northwest

Katie Myake, equally charismatic and a master at engaging all ages, co-led the sessions with her trademark blend of encouragement and expertise. Drawing from Coerver’s proven methodology – honed through years of elite youth camps and pro partnerships – she guided groups through innovative “Pixel Passes,” where participants practiced one-touch control while using the Google Pixel’s real-time editing tools to review and share their progress instantly.

“We saw kids light up as they nailed a move they’d only dreamed of, and pros like the Spirit’s midfielders dropping by for a laugh and a tip. It’s moments like these that make the sport accessible and exhilarating for everyone.” — Katie Miyake, Coerver Northwest

The impact was palpable. Families lingered well into the afternoon, trading stories of their breakthrough skills. Young fans walked away with new moves and custom patches, while even NWSL athletes stopped by for morale-boosting drills – creating a genuine bridge between pros and everyday enthusiasts.
