MEET OUR FOUNDERS

Coach Andreas

Andreas Noberg

Andreas Norberg, founder of Nordic Soccer, was born and raised in Kil, Sweden—a small town of 10,000 people. A lifelong soccer enthusiast, Andreas grew up idolizing Zlatan Ibrahimović, Sweden’s soccer legend, and never missed a Zlatan game, from his Juventus years to his time in LA. Alongside his admiration for Zlatan, Andreas is a devoted Chelsea fan and follows every match with unwavering passion.

​

Before moving to the U.S., Andreas worked in Sweden’s school system for several years, where he discovered a natural talent for working with children. Even as a young boy, he would spend school work-training days assisting teachers, finding joy in connecting with kids and helping them grow.

​

After relocating to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the film industry, Andreas realized his true calling lay elsewhere. Combining his love for soccer, his passion for working with children, and his deep connection to LA’s community, he launched Nordic Soccer in 2020. Today, the program has grown to serve over 500 participants across multiple schools, and under Andreas’ leadership, it continues to expand rapidly.

Teddie Bergman

Teddie is the proud mother of two boys. Their love for sports and the desire for community and friends especially during the challenging times of Covid, was what  quickly inspired her to partner up with coach Andreas. She successfully organized and brought groups together to learn soccer, team building skills, and most importantly socialization for the kids. Teddie's background and knowledge comes from the early age of fourteen when she became a swim instructor. For six years, she taught group lessons, private sessions and camps.  At sixteen she led the swim program at the gym Prime Time Athletics in the Bay Area. Raising her two athletic boys has really created a passion for athletics and community. Personalizing your own group during Covid or reaching out into the community and making new friends has proven to be a blessing during these unusual circumstances we all are facing. Sustaining a successful career in the entertainment industry for over fourteen years as a makeup artist has given her the same drive to equally succeed in providing excellent service for Nordic Soccer.
