Introducing Coerver Coaching: The World's #1 Soccer Skills Teaching Method

​

Coerver Coaching is a global football coaching program renowned for its revolutionary approach to individual skill development and small group play. Inspired by the teachings of legendary Dutch coach Wiel Coerver and founded in 1984 by Alfred Galustian and Chelsea great Charlie Cooke, Coerver has transformed how soccer is taught and played worldwide.

​

Why is Coerver Coaching considered the world's number one?

​

• Ball Mastery: The foundation of all skills, emphasizing repetition and control with both feet.
   

• Receiving & Passing: Improving first touch and encouraging accurate, creative passing.
   

• Moves (1v1): Teaching game-winning individual moves to create space against defenders.
   

• Speed: Enhancing agility, acceleration, power, and quick decision-making with and without the ball.
   

• Finishing: Improving technique and encouraging instinctive play around the goal.
   

• Group Attack: Developing small group play with an emphasis on fast-break attacks.
   

• Holistic Player Development: Beyond just technical skills, Coerver aims to develop confident and creative players, instill good sportsmanship and respect, and make the game fun to practice and play. They prioritize character and performance alongside winning.
   

• Global Recognition & Endorsement: With a presence in over 50 countries, Coerver Coaching is endorsed by top federations, professional clubs (like Arsenal FC and Newcastle United FC), and soccer legends worldwide. They have worked with millions of players and coaches over decades.
