Side Image

COERVER believes 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. The COERVER 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 a team's success is determined by player performances in these exchanges.

Consequently, COERVER coaching focuses on improving individual and small group play especially in the formative years.

Each camp will work on the implementation of Ball Mastery skills consisting of repetitive ball control exercises using both feet; Receiving and Passing with an emphasis on the improvement of first touch, and to encourage accurate and creative passing; 1 v 1 Moves that teach game-winning individual moves and how to create space against packed defenses; Speed; Finishing; and Group Attacks that improve small group play with an emphasis on Fast Break Attacks.

Each day you will be asked to work on all of the basic skills that are necessary to become a complete player. We will also put you into tactical situations to help you improve your overall playing ability and understanding of the game. Enrollment is limited on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Our Day Camp program features instruction for boys and girls beginning their soccer careers to those at a more advanced level of play. This year we will be offering training for young people 8-17 years old.
