Coerver Coaching Methods Review

I purchased the Masterclass series, a 3 part video/DVD, after reviewing the free videos available on the Coerver website.  I have used content from all 3 videos in my training sessions with players from 6 years old to adults (18+).

The three videos are
  1. A New Era
  2. Building Essential Skills
  3. Fast Break Attack
The videos also came with a number of complementary items, such as the "Play like a legend" video, and access to the online site.

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. 

Ball Mastery is the Foundation of the Coerver program, and this video has a small snippet of Disc 2 of the Coerver 3 disc series

In my coaching experience players that have been through the ball mastery program are far more capable and easier to coach. 

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 speed, finishing on goal an group play. 
I have used the speed and agility exercises with players of all ages, and the group play exercises for players of 11+.
There are also some great examples of exercises for shooting and finishing.
  • 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 enthusistic in their participation

Summary

  • I have used the contents of these videos extensively in the sessions that I have conducted for players of all ages with great success.
  • There are dozens of techniques shown on how to beat an opponent
  • There are numerous drills on  passing and receiving and dribbling.  They are all good drills that keep players moving, challanged and interested.
  • The videos have drillls for 1v1, 2v2 and small sided games, making it a well rounded set.
  • All in all the content is fantastic and when combined with small sided games gives great results
  • 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.

    I wish this was around when I was a player!
