Coerver®Team Training is offered by certified Coerver®Coaches utilizing our Pyramid of Player Development through club-wide programs or to individual teams. Fall and Spring training is available in season-long programs (usually ten weeks long) and Winter and Summer programs are offered in a variety of settings.
Club-Wide Programs are offered in several environments. We can customize a program for your club to train multiple teams and age groups as often as you require. Sixty-minute and ninety-minute programs are available.
Individual Teams willing to train back-to-back with another Coerver-trained team can receive Coerver®Technical and Tactical training. If two teams can practice in succession, then we can provide a coach to train each team for ninety minutes. If three teams can train back-to-back, we can provide a coach to train each team for sixty-minutes.
COERVER® COACHING develops players by teaching individual skill and small group tactics. Our team training engages a season-long program that begins with the individual player to develop skill and confidence and works out from there to address broader tactical themes. The guidelines set forth below are developed from COERVER® COACHING’s experience in over 30 years of player development and the contributions of top coaches worldwide.
