About our Camp

COERVER^® COACHING OF COLORADO

Developing Great Skills provides keys to an athlete’s success at higher levels of soccer and to that player’s lifelong enjoyment of The Game.

Coerver^® Coaching of Colorado has been established to provide the region’s finest in-depth soccer skills training, to sponsor innovative competitions which challenge players’ technical abilities, and to serve as a resource for parents, coaches and clubs who recognize the need for “Skillful Players First”.

Based on the world-renowned Coerver^® Method, our Camps and other programs reflect the cutting edge of player training and development. A sequence of programs for players from under-7 through High School offer instruction in a relentlessly positive environment which leads to increasing proficiency in the following areas:

Mastery of the Ball

• Superior 1v1 Skills - the ability and confidence to take on and beat an opponent in a one-on-one situation, together with the poise to keep possession of the ball under strong defensive pressure. Some sort of one-on-one activity is a part of every Coerver^® session.
• A Dynamic First Touch - the skill and vision to place the ball with the first touch to a spot where it can be played again quickly and productively. This is also found in every session.
• Accuracy and Power when striking a ball - with several surfaces of either foot – in order to constantly improve passing and scoring.

 

Mastery of Small Group Situations (2v1, 2v2, 3v2, 3v3 etc.), the building blocks of team play, under progressively greater pressure.

Mastery of Effective “Soccer Habits”, the key to a player’s “sense for the game”.

An Appreciation of the Competitive Process

• Learning to play your hardest when training as well as in games, both to make yourself better and to challenge your teammates to be their best.
• Understanding that, at its best, “competing” reflects the original meaning of the word: “striving with”, not “striving against”.

 

All Coerver^® Colorado training programs follow a detailed written curriculum, featuring activities used by Coerver^® Coaching throughout the world that are proven to be challenging, effective and enormously fun.
