Coerver 6 Weeks Academy

About Coerver 6 Weeks Academy

Coerver 6 weeks Academy runs in winter months, through the beginning of March.

Whatever an athlete’s potential, great skills are the foundation for achieving it. Each and every player should have the opportunity to develop magical skills. This program, for 8 to 14 years old players, provides in depth Coerver training that is systematic and sustained over time, with a focus on developing the essential skills for an athlete’s future in The Game:

Superior 1v1 Skills: the ability and confidence to take on and beat an opponent in a one-on-one situation, together with the poise to keep possession of the ball under strong defensive pressure. Players can expect some sort of one-on-one activity at every session.
A Dynamic First Touch: the skill and vision to place the ball with the first touch to a spot where it can be played again quickly and productively. This is also found in every session.
Accuracy and Powerful Shooting: with several surfaces of either foot.
Mastery of the Small Group Situations (2v1, 3v1, 3v2, etc.) which are the building blocks of team play.

Who it is for

Coerver 6 weeks Academy Training is designed for every player who enjoys soccer and wants to get better. Athletes will need to bring their best effort and “teachable spirit” to each session. In addition, we will emphasize playing boldly, not being afraid to make mistakes.

The 8-14 years old will follow the Ball Mastery curriculum

Camp Info

Each group in this program will be run in the manner we’d coach players at this age. Parts of every session will be competitive in the original sense of the word – “striving with”, not “striving against”. Players learn that the ultimate team player uses his or her own best efforts both to get better and to challenge teammates to improve as well. That idea is one example of emphasis on developing the character traits found in the most successful athletes. After all, it’s the Life Lessons you learn through sports that will be more enduring, and are therefore are more important, than anything you’ll learn about soccer.
