Review of the Coerver Coaching System
The Coerver Coaching System has been regarded is the #1 soccer training program, and I thought I'd put it to the test, so after reviewing the free videos available on the Coerver website, I purchased the The Coerver Masterclass Series, which is a 3 part video/DVD.
The three videos are:
Video 1 - A New Era
The first video is really a summary of the Coerver techniques and the philosophy behind the Coerver program. There is some great footage of passages of play from real matches that are inspirational and great to watch. My two boys aged 6 and 12 will happily watch this video.
Video 2 - Building Essential Skills
This video concentrates on individual skill, ball mastery and moves to beat opponents and has content on passing and receiving. There are literally dozens of great video examples of skills and techniques that have great voice over explanations with them.
Disc 2 has
It is far easier to progress to more advanced topics with players with a good 1st touch, which is what this video will achieve.
Video 3 - Fast Break Attack
This video concentrates on
I have used the speed and agility exercises with players of all ages. The techniques used are proven techniques that I used during my sprinting career (I was actually quite an accomplished sprinter, running 10.6 for the 100 metres and actually raced against Olympians such as Alan Wells). The use of resistance running and also assisted running will give you a great foundation for improving your players sprinting technique and speed
Agility
The drills for agility are well thought out and after using them, I found them to have a great effect on my players ability to get out of stick situations or compete
Group Play and Finishing
I have used the group play exercises for players of 11+. There are also some great examples of exercises for shooting and finishing that can be used for players of any age
The majority of exercises in this video are designed to be competitive I have found that players tend to relish the competitive nature of the exercises and are really keen and enthusiastic in their participation
Summary
I have seen all 3 videos, time and time again, and it really is the most comprehensive set of drills and instruction that will ensure technically excellent players. This product, and subsequently used content from all 3 videos in my training sessions with players from 6 years old to adults (18+).
The nature of the Ball Mastery program is to develop individual skill, meaning that parents can help their children progress their skills and techniques in the back yard.
I believe that the packages offered are must for any coach, parent or player that wants to get the most out of their soccer.
The SoccerHelper coached his team to the top of the league using the Coerver program combined with a SPECIAL ingredient.
