The Dutch Training Method


Soccer Centers team training is based on the Dutch philosophy of coaching, which is, founded on the premise that the player's ball control and tactical development will receive top priority in training. Players will be constantly challenged to achieve individual and team goals. This unique training course is far beyond the static regimented training environment that most players experience today. Technical and tactical instruction will be conducted through the application of small-sided games so that players will experience a training environment that replicates the real game. Under the watchful eye of our Dutch trained coaching staff, players will begin to know WHAT to do, WHEN to do it and HOW to do it at the technical and tactical speed that is required in the modern game. Each training session is designed to help players achieve their maximum potential through progressive exercises that are age appropriate and individually and developmentally challenging.
