Under13a's Still Top

Well after being a Coerver convert since 2006, I pleased to say that the Under 13A team that I coach at Eastern Lions Soccer Club is still top of the league.  This team won the league last year, and we are still on track to win again this year.  3 games to go and 6 points clear, so looking good.  How do we do it?  Well each practise session incorporates a lot of the Coerver Methods (ball Mastery, 1v1 , 2v2 as well as a lot of passing and receiving.  Needless to say the players have a good first touch and are very comfortable with the ball.  My recommendation to any budding player or coach of young kids is to get into Coerver, not just the toe taps and ball mastery, but also the intense competition of 1v1 drills.
