Coaching Ratio:
Coerver Coaching programs look to operate with a coaching ratio of 1 coach per 12 to 15 players, dependent on the registration numbers, skill levels of the players and experience of the coach. Our goal is to create an environment in which the coach has more then ample time to identify teaching moments for your child and build the necessary coaching relationship to foster player and child development.
Camp Groupings:
Mighty Mites: This is the first step towards a player’s lifetime enjoyment of the sport, so it is imperative that coaches keep things fun. An emphasis on enhancing fundamental movement and coordination skills is important. These include running, jumping, hopping bending, stretching, twisting, pulling, pushing, reaching, throwing, catching and kicking. The child needs to explore the ball rolling it, bouncing, tapping it, how to use different parts of the body to control it. Each of these skills are introduced and then enhanced through a series of fun soccer games, that not only teach skill, but create a tactical knowledge base for future development.
Regular / Masters: At this stage, concentration on individual skills, first touch, quick feet and moves to beat an opponent are the focus.
Players will have countless touches on the ball, learning to master it with confidence. Small sided games are used to encourage the use of skills learned in match like conditions.
