History

Coerver Coaching History

In the late 1970s, Dutch European Championship winning coach Wiel Coerver led a revolution in soccer coaching. He was dissatisfied with the lack of individual skills and emphasis on defensive play in the professional game; an emphasis that many thought, was stifling the more exciting, attacking style of play necessary to score goals and attract fans.

Up to that point, little attention had been given to individual skill development, because no one knew quite how to teach these skills. It was also, then, widely assumed that the great players of the game were innately gifted far beyond the capabilities of the average player.

Coerver’s early focus was on teaching ball mastery and 1 v 1 skills by encouraging players to emulate the “moves” of soccer’s all-time greats, such as Sir Stanley Matthews, Cryuff, Beckenbauer and Pele.

In 1984, inspired by Wiel Coerver’s Philosophy, Alfred Galustian and Charlie Cooke founded what is now known around the world as Coerver® Coaching.


                                                                             

CURRICULUM

Coerver Coaching Pyramid of Player Development





When Coerver Coaching launched it's new 3 part DVD series and book entitled "A new Era" it did more than just extend its product range. These new products contained the blueprint for Coerver Coaching going into the new Millennium.

The new curriculum represented by the Pyramid of Player Development, as shown above, consisted of 6 building blocks.

Each block has dozens of games and training exercises for all ages and experience levels.  The exercises and games can be used by coaches who are planning training sessions as well as players practicing on their own.

Ball mastery is the foundation of every player's development and becomes essential to progress through the pyramid.  But don't think of this as a ladder, where one level must be completed before continuing to the next level.  Instead each step is integral to the others and the player improvement is achieved as their techniques improve at each level.
