What To Bring:

Dutch Style: Skill Development With Coerver Method

This summer, your child will step into a soccer training experience inspired by one of the richest traditions in the sport: Dutch-style development, shaped by the legendary minds behind some of the world’s most iconic teams.

At the heart of this philosophy is Johan Cruyff, whose influence on FC Barcelona created a new era of thoughtful, beautiful soccer. His ideas, combined with the innovative coaching of Horst Wein, laid the foundation for a method of player development that emphasizes creativity, intelligence, and technical skill. Players like Xavi, Iniesta, and generations of stars have grown from these teachings—and now, your child will get a chance to do the same, right here in DC.

From Fundamentals to Creativity – A Training Experience for Every Age

Our training is powered by the world-renowned Coerver Method, a system designed to teach players through fun, challenging, and effective drills. Each session is packed with fast-paced activities that build confidence, improve ball control, and spark creativity.

Younger players stay active and engaged with playful learning games, while older players dive deeper into mastering footwork, passing, and smart decision-making. Led by our experienced and energetic coaches, every session is designed to challenge, encourage, and inspire—all in a safe and supportive environment.

Whether your child is just starting or looking to level up, they’ll discover the joy of learning soccer the Dutch way, where fun, skill, and creativity come together.

Brazilian Style: Skills & Creativity

Get ready for an extraordinary soccer training experience influenced by the dynamic Brazilian soccer tradition. Think of legendary showmen like Ronaldinho, the real Ronaldo, and Neymar, whose mesmerizing skills and creativity have set the world of soccer ablaze. This session celebrates technical finesse and imaginative flair, allowing our young players to express themselves on the field and embody the spirit of Brazilian soccer.

They’ll build confidence, play with joy, and discover how creativity can be just as powerful as skill. Expect lots of smiles, bold moves, and unforgettable moments on the field!
