COERVER® COLORADO CAMP PROGRAMS
"Coerver Coaching is not only effective, it makes practice fun, too. Enjoyment, of course, is the key element in training youth players. I recommend this program to all young players and their coaches" - Franz Beckenbaur, legendary player and Head Coach for Germany’s World Cup teams
The Coerver® Method is designed to teach and improve soccer skills. Coerver® programs are sequential; each level builds on mastery of the one before. Satisfactory completion of the Regular program is the normal prerequisite for acceptance into the Advanced camp, completion of the Advanced Camp for the Elite. Without prior Coerver° Camp experience, the Advanced Camp is for players entering the U15 year or older. Exceptions are made only with the permission of the Camp Director.
The camps are structured to provide a relentlessly positive environment where players are encouraged to “make the maximum effort, continue to learn and improve, and don’t let mistakes (or the fear of mistakes) stop them.“ Camps run 6 hours per day, 9 am - 3 pm, Monday thru Friday. Campers work in groups of 10-12 players of similar age and ability. The curriculum for Monday morning is designed to assure the competitive compatibility of the groups.
Every Coerver° Colorado program follows a detailed written curriculum. This curriculum begins with helping players develop comfort with the ball at their feet, then turns to mastering soccer’s essential skills and best habits. Players develop the ability to use their skills with confidence and creativity under ever-increasing pressure, first in the 1v1 situation then in small group settings (2v1, 2v2, 3v1, 3v2, etc.) which are the building blocks of team play. The entire curriculum is evaluated and upgraded annually in order to guarantee active, fast-paced programs of instruction, practice and play.
Our staff members are high school and college coaches
and college players. Many of our staff have been campers in our camps;
many have coached with Coerver® for four summers or more. Each of
our coaches is screened for their ability to work with children and all
are trained to teach the Coerver® Method.
REGULAR CAMP PROGRAM: For boys and girls 8-17 yrs. Recommended for all players who have never attended a Coerver® Camp. The program is designed to develop a "soft" first touch, "quick" feet, and confidence with the ball. It includes teaching many "Moves" to beat an opponent to the goal or to create time and space. Tuition: $320.00
ADVANCED CAMP PROGRAM: For players 13-18 who are pursuing soccer careers at High School and Collegiate level and beyond. This program is for players who have already developed the basic Coerver® skills and who use their "Moves" in games. This program teaches "Advanced Moves," emphasizes pace, accuracy and timing of passes and runs, and seeks to increase "speed of play." Much of the instruction is structured around the use of highly competitive small-sided games. Minimum age is 14 for players who have not attended a Coerver Camp before. Tuition: $370.00
ELITE CAMP PROGRAM: (High School Players only). This program Is recommended for those players who are very proficient with their ball skills, and who regularly use various "Moves" in a game. The player must have the ability to receive and/or to pass the ball while under pressure and have the ability to make crisp, accurate, well-timed passes. This program emphasizes "speed of play" and our "Small Group, Fast Break" concept of attack. For acceptance into this program, the player must be entering high school in the coming Fall season and have completed at least one Advanced Camp Program. This program is only offered at our Highlands Ranch and Greenwood Village Camps. Tuition $420.00
Our MIGHTY MITE camps are half-day programs (9 - 11:30 am, Monday thru Friday) for the 5-7 year olds. They feature fun games, basic skills and a positive introduction to the game. There are individual and team contests and a mini World Cup Competition. Tuition: $170.00
