Soccer Trainers and Coaches

In keeping with Soccer Centers philosophy our soccer coaches are hired direct from the Netherlands with degrees from the KNVB (Royal Dutch Soccer Association) or C.I.O.S. (Central Insitute of Sports Education). The C.I.O.S. Academy is a full time college where students are taught all aspects of the soccer game, from sports psychology to conditioning and from teaching young players to professional game analysis. The Soccer Centers coach is not only a coach, but a teacher, as well.

Each year 1200 aspiring coaches apply to the C.I.O.S. Academy and only 20 get admitted and out of that number only HALF will graduate from the school. Some of its graduates are world-class coaches; current South Korea's Head Coach Guus Hiddink is one of them. All coaches go through 3600 hours of field and class training at C.I.O.S.

Our soccer coaches are able to bring the right curriculum to each team and be able to make the players understand in a tactical manner the game they are playing Remember, our coaches are teachers.

The Dutch Training Method

Soccer Centers training camps are based on the Dutch philosophy of coaching, which is, founded on the premise that the player's ball control and tactical development will receive top priority in training. Players will be grouped according to ability to make their experience challenging and enjoyable.

This unique training course of training is far beyond the static regimented training environment that most players experience today. Technical and tactical instruction will be conducted through the application of small-sided games so that players will experience a training environment that replicates the real game. Under the watchful eye of our Dutch trained coaching staff, players will begin to know WHAT to do, WHEN to do it and HOW to do it at the technical and tactical speed that is required in the modern game.

Training exercises will be selected by taking into account the age and level of ability of these groups. Based on staff assessment and recommendation, individuals may be moved to high level groups with parent notification and approval.

Each camp is designed to help players achieve their maximum potential through progressive exercises that are age appropriate and individually and developmentally challenging. The basic method of training will focus on small side games, designed to help players improve their personal level of performance in the tactical, technical, and physiological areas of individual development.

DTS Mini Ball Skills

This innovative class uses Size 2 mini balls in a series of ball handling exercises. The secondary skill acquired by the use of mini ball training is an increase in their physical and visual reaction speed. There is a story about Dutch international star, Johan Cruyff. When Cruyff was a boy in Holland, learning and developing his footballing skills, he used to train with a tennis ball. Cruyff mastered dribbling, juggling and other foot skills with the tennis ball. When he returned to a regulation size ball, he found it much easier to control. Well the same concept applies to the method of using the mini balls. When you incorporate a smaller or heavier ball into your weekly training regime, your regulation size ball will seem easier to handle!  [ check schedule for next class ]
