Coerver coaching for grassroots gets my nod of approval

Great content

If you read any of my blog posts here on Hive , you’ll know by now that I coach underage football teams here in ireland.

I'm head coach for my eldest son's U13 team and help with my other son's U10 and U8 teams.

I have done various FAI and UEFA coaching courses, so I'm pretty knowledgeable about the game and of course I played myself for years.

If you coach kids like I do I'd highly recommend Coerver coaching and their methods.

The video below will give you an idea of what they're all about.

At our club Salthill Devon, we were lucky enough to get some excellent coaching training from some of the Coerver guys and I must say they were excellent and I picked up some excellent nuggets of information and session ideas that I use at my training sessions on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. Yep, I'm up at the club 5 days a week as a volunteer! It's just as well I love football!

Coerver Coaching was founded in 1984 by Alfred Galustian and Charlie Cooke, inspired by the philosophy of Wiel Coerver, a Dutch coach who emphasized individual ball mastery and small-group play as the foundation of great football.

Wiel Coerver, sometimes called the “Albert Einstein of football training,” developed his methods after studying top players like Pelé, Garrincha, and Cruyff, trying to understand what made them so technically superior.

Coerver training is built around the idea that technical ability is the base of all football success.

It aims to develop:

Skillful, confident, creative players
Good decision-makers on the field
Effective teamwork, rooted in strong individual technique

It follows a “Pyramid of Player Development.”

Seriously, if you're a grass roots coach like me, check it out.

Thanks as always for stopping by everyone

Peace Out

The title alone brings back so much memories. When I was a kid playing football, there were lots of places where you would see posters of Coervers practices.

To bad my club, was more running then technical practice. If I do compare this to now, the technical part get's more attention which is like it should be.

Clubs would die without volunteers like you! So thanks in the name of all parents who do have kids at football clubs, forgetting the passion and hours you do put into this.

Such a pity. My club was a bit better, but nowhere close to where the level is today. From U9 our kids train 3 days a week. We were lucky to have 1 training session a week in my day!

Thanks a million for the thanks man, but luckily the parent (mostly) appreciate us coaches and most of the boys thank me after every session and are great young lads 👌

It's a nice thing to do for society too. Realistically none of them will make it as professional players, but I can help them to love the game and keep playing it and help shape them as balanced young men

We brought them to Barcelona earlier this year and won a trophy and also brought them to Dublin for an Ireland match earlier this year
