| #1 - Van Dijk Method - Training Techniques |
 |
Technique is hot! There is a lot of demand for methods from Coerver, Meulensteen, Moniz, etc. Soccer schools offering technique training for player who want to improve their technique outside of club training are popping up everywhere, but there is also more demand for technique coming from within the clubs. One of the problems is the supply of information. There are very few technique books and DVDs focusing solely on technique training.
Cor van Dijk, academy head at Dutch amateur club Barendrecht, also faced this problem. At his club a lot of attention is paid to improve youth players’ technique. They use a lot of the moves that made Coerver famous. Van Dijk: “Coerver was probably the first person who realized that isolated technique and skills training make players better. However, I believe the last Coerver DVD is not as suitable for the amateur soccer coach. First of all because the DVD shows players who are very technically skilled, something that is usually not the case in amateur soccer. Secondly the exercises are very complex and again often not suitable for the amateur level."
This is why Cor van Dijk made a DVD, at first with the intention to use it internally at his own club. However, the project became much bigger and resulted in a DVD that is very suitable for youth coaches at the amateur level. This DVD is now available as an E-Learning on SoccerCoachingInternational.com. Click on the image or the title to start the E-learning. The E-learning will load in a new window.
