Joga Bonito Soccer Club

About our Club

At Joga Bonito Soccer Club, we do things differently. We develop creative, technically proficient, and fiercely competitive soccer players who take chances and who create opportunities rather than play it safe. Focusing on the fundamentals (Hard Skills) and 14 World Class Soccer Skills, our proven training method builds confidence and creativity that stays with our players both on and off the field. Admittedly, Playing Beautifully is a change in tactic that can take some getting used to for some parents. Our emphasis is not on winning games, and even though our teams do win, we require our players to use technical perfection, play with a creative purpose, and use foot skills to generate space, all of which creates new opportunities.br br The Portuguese slogan “Play Beautiful” was heard often in the early 2000s, when Nike & Eric Cantona, and other exceptional international players, made "Joga Bonito" their mantra. They made it their mission to emphasize the need to return beautiful play to the game of soccer and move away from the simple “play to win” tactics that had become all too common. This inspired us to create Joga Bonito Soccer!br br Nike & Eric Cantona's Joga TV You Tube Ad Campaignbr ahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bp1b4UrvMjA /a
