WHAT WE TEACH, THE PYRAMID OF PLAYER DEVELOPMENT &copy1997<\/h2>\n

FINISHING: Scoring skills around the box
\nFocus. Timing. Courage. Concentration. This teaches responsibility.<\/h5>\n
GROUP PLAY: Putting it all together
\nSmall group defence. Fast break attack. Combination play. This teaches team work.<\/h5>\n

Player Pyramid<\/p>\n

WE BELIEVE<\/h2>\n

Method Coaching System<\/p>\n

Coaches should try to develop the person as well as the player.
\nStar Teams and Players provide excellent models for teaching and inspiring young players.
\nEncouraging an attacking mind-set where hard work and commitment to the team is the priority.
\nThat the success of any team system, tactic or formation ultimately depends on the quality of the individual player skills and the effectiveness of their small group play.
\nBall Mastery is the Foundation of our curriculum.
\nWe teach every player the Coerver Code.<\/h5>\n

Coerver Code Graphic<\/p>\n

OUR HISTORY<\/h3>\n

Coerver Coaching was founded in 1984 by Alf Galustian and former Chelsea great Charlie Cooke who were both inspired by the philosophy of legendary Dutch coach Wiel Coerver. Together they developed a programme of teaching that was unlike anything else available then or now.<\/h5>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Alf and Charlie’s dedication to the game and extensive experience has formed the backbone to the business and made Coerver<\/a> what it is today – a respected, established and sought after brand of football coaching which has revolutionised the way football is taught and learnt by players and coaches alike.<\/h5>\n
When starting the business Alf and Charlie’s mission statement was: \u201cTo develop Skilled, Confident, Creative, players who combine well with team mates and have the skills to go it alone\u201d. Coerver\\’s original mission statement continues to be at the heart of the business however, its curriculum and method have continually developed over time to keep up with the changing nature of the game whilst staying true to its foundational beliefs. These beliefs underpin the \\”Method\\” and \\”Curriculum\\” taught to each player and coach which has earned Coerver global football credibility.<\/h5>\n
