• To develop listening skills, extended concentration, speedy reactions, as well as core social skills of communication and cooperation.

• TO HAVE FUN!

THE COERVER® FOUNDATION PYRAMID®

We have created a simplified curriculum Coerver® “Foundation Pyramid” appropriate for players ages 3-6.

The Coerver® Foundation Pyramid consists of 4 components:

- SKILLS (Basic Ball Mastery, and simple 1v1 Moves);

- SPEED (particularly mental reaction speed);

- SHOOTING (kicking technique);

- SMALL-SIDED GAMES (2v2/3v3)

1.Skills

1.1 Ball Mastery

- Ball mastery with both feet is the foundation of all other soccer skills. This component contains activities where young players get to know the ball - how it rolls and bounces - and learn how to keep the ball close while running and turning.

1.2 Simple Moves

- Most young players beat an opponent by kicking the ball forward and chasing. But even with 3-7 year olds, you can introduce the idea of doing a clever move to beat someone.

2. Speed

- Speed is included in the curriculum because kids love to move and race.

- Basic speed exercises also develop body coordination and reaction skills.

3. Shooting

- Players must learn early that soccer is about scoring goals. Young players love to do this and the success of scoring goals is important at this age.

- Frequency and repetition are also important as the basic technique of kicking/ shooting is the same as passing.

4. Small Sided Games

- We combine the first three aspects of the pyramid into small sided games.

- This teaches young players cooperation, social skills and teamwork from a young age.
