At 15, Omar signed with the LA Galaxy Academy. For the next two years, he would learn from the games' top coaches and play alongside world class players such as future US National Team star, Gyasi Zardes. After his two seasons with the club, Omar would commit to Division 1 side UC Davis of the Big West Conference. Over the next 4 seasons, Omar would start and play all but 10 games. In his Senior season, Omar was named to 1st Team All-Conference and the Big West Conference Goalkeeper of the Year. In the same year, he claimed the school records in Shutouts (18) and Saves (262).
Meet Omar Zeenni
After college, Omar began preparing for a professional playing career, but his path was altered by a torn ACL in his right knee. That injury marked the beginning of his transition into coaching. While serving as a Graduate Assistant at his alma mater, Omar quickly discovered a passion for breaking down film and designing effective training regimens for his goalkeepers.
​
Shortly thereafter, he founded Pro GK Academy. What began as a simple social media page—where Omar shared solo drills for players and coaches to incorporate into their sessions—quickly grew beyond its original scope. With the support of his close friend Armando Quezada, Pro GK evolved from a small platform into the largest goalkeeper-focused school on social media.
​
Today, Omar uses his platform to develop and mentor young goalkeepers throughout the Greater Los Angeles area, while continuing to produce educational content across Pro GK’s Instagram and YouTube channels. His goal is to establish Pro GK as the gold standard in goalkeeping education and the trusted resource for coaches and players looking to deepen their understanding of the position.
