Performance Academy

The Performance Academy (PA) is a Technical Development Program, for youth soccer players. It is brought to you by Coerver® Coaching, "The World's #1 Soccer Skills Teaching Method", and their international partner Adidas®.

Coerver® Coaching Performance Academies operate around the world with the aim of maximizing each player's development. This is achieved by providing each player with professional coaching, age specific technical curriculum, and excellent facilities.

Our aim is to develop confident and creative players while teaching essential social skills such as good sportsmanship and respect, in addition to a good attitude to practice and play. The PA is a progressive series of instruction in Ball Mastery, Receiving and Passing, 1v1 Attacking skills, Speed (including the speed of thought), Finishing and Group Play. All this results in improving player’s ball control, 1v1 skills, creativity, speed of play and overall Soccer IQ.

The Performance Academy is not a soccer team. It is a supplement to the training that players get from their competitive or recreational soccer team. The goal of the Performance Academy is to make highly technical, skills training available to all players regardless of which club they play for or which club coach they have.

The Performance Academy focuses on each level of the Coerver® Coaching Pyramid of Player Development©. The foundation of any Coerver® Coaching course is Ball Mastery, which will be emphasized and repeated using a variety of fun individual challenges and small-sided games. We utilize the Coerver® Method of ball mastery and graduated pressure to build technical competence and play carefully selected games to build functional success. We foster creativity by giving the players technical building blocks & encouraging bold actions in developmentally appropriate games. Our games are designed to be fun, challenging and to reward bravery and risk-taking. Small group tactics and principles of play are taught in attack and defense by utilizing the structure of the many small sided games, which have made the Coerver® Curriculum so unique and emulated throughout the soccer-playing world.
