The Coerver History
 

The World's #1 Soccer SkillsTeaching Program

COERVER® COACHING's mission is to provide the world's best youth soccer educational services and products at its player Camps, Schools and Coaches' Clinics and to make the benefits of COERVER® COACHING available as widely as possible through its network of COERVER® COACHING licensees.

Our goals are to:  

  • Develop skilled, confident and creative players.

 

  • Make the game fun to practice and play.

 

  • Teach good sportsmanship and respect for all.

 

  • Value winning but not more than character and performance.

 

  • Make COERVER® COACHING's benefits accessible to as many boys and girls and their coaches, teachers and parents as possible.

We believe that team systems and tactics are important but they cannot fully compensate for poor control, inaccurate passing or other technical weaknesses. Ultimately team organization is only as effective as the individual players in it.

Our Philosophy is based on the premise that the game consists of sequences of play between 2, 3 and sometimes 4 players, in various parts of the field, and that Team Success is determined by player performances in these exchanges.

Consequently Coerver® Coaching focuses on improving individual and small group play in these sequences especially in the formative years.

 
 
In the 70's the great Dutch Coach Wiel Coerver, aiming to improve individual soccer skills and develop more effective attacking players, created a new way to teach soccer. Coerver first analyzed the great players on slow motion video and came to the conclusion that many of their one-on-one and control skills could be broken down and taught to most players. From these few "moves" of great players, he and his fellow Directors devised hudnreds of Individual and Group exercises and games which formed the basis of the Coerver™ Coaching events and products

In 1985, Alfred Galustian and Charlie Cooke joined Coerver and established the Coerver™ Coaching Global Network. 

Since that time Coerver™ Coaching has expanded its programs and products to Asia, the United States, Europe, Australia and Africa. It has become one of the most respected teaching programs with an unmatched list of endorsements from National Federations, Professional Clubs, Stars and Coaches. That brings us to the NEW ERA. The next stage in Coerver™ Coaching development. Coerver™ Coaching has always been based on the premise that team performance ultimately depends upon the individual players' capabilities and performance. 

It has through its schools, camps and educational products provided young players (and their coaches and teachers) with an essential "Foundation" that team play can be built on.

The Method has been endorsed by many famous international players and coaches including Franz Beckenbauer and Karl Heinz Rummennigge of West Germany, Peter Beardsley of Liverpool, Newcastle and England, Gordon Streachan of Leeds United and Scotland, John Collins of Celtic and Scotland, Roberto Rivelino of Brazil, Sir Alex Ferguson of Manchester United, Arsene Wegner of Arsenal, Liam Brady of Inter Milan and Ireland, and Anson Dorance, coach of the US Women's 1991 World Cup Champions and UNC.
