The Coerver Coaching Method
The Coerver Method
In the 1970's, the great Dutch Coach Wiel
Coerver, aiming to improve individual soccer skills and produce
better attacking players and teams, developed a revolutionary new
way to teach soccer to young players and old. Up to that time it
was widely believed that the great players were simply gifted and
that their skills were beyond the average player.
Coerver analyzed these great players in slow motion video and came
to the conclusion that many of their skills could be broken down
and taught to most players, regardless of age or experience. The
Coerver Method has been developed as a set of building blocks in
a pyramid (see above) where players can progress form basic ball
handling skills through to mastering complex soccer technique and
strategy.

Soccer Greats say...
"I appreciate the Coerver Method very much. It is important
that young players are skillful. The Coerver Method improves technical
skills a lot.I would wish that all youth coaches take attention
to train the youngsters in such a technical skillful way"
