Germiston’s soccer fanatics had best be on the lookout, because Coerver Coaching SA is aiming to recruit more players in Gauteng.
Coerver Coaching has been developing creative, game-changing players for over 30 years with its professionally trained staff, and offers an acclaimed coaching curricula, endorsed by FIFA.
The organisation, in association with Off the Wall Powerball, held free soccer coaching trial sessions for children aged between six and 18, at the East Rand Italian Club, in Boksburg, on Saturday, May 17.
The session, which was part of Coerver’s Play Like the Stars Roadshow, provided two hours of technical soccer development, with professional coaches.
“Today’s focus was teaching the kids five introductory steps, collectively known as ball mastery,” said former Bafana Bafana star, Phil Evans, who is one of the coaches.
“Our goal is to teach kids basic skills, so they can go back to their respective clubs as better players and boost their careers, and we’re looking to cover more areas in and around Jo’burg.”
Former Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Clement Mazibuko, who worked alongside Evans in leading the coaching, echoed his counterpart’s sentiments.
“The session today is all about teaching the basics of football; basics are easily ignored by soccer players but, as time goes in one’s career, you realise how important the basics are.”
In a lighter tone, when asked about the chances of returning to the Pretoria side, who were recently crowned Premier Soccer League (PSL) champions, in a coaching capacity, Mazibuko responded: “I would love to, I’ve recently acquired my coaching B-licence and it would be really nice returning to Sundowns.”
Coerver Coaching continues to work with the world’s leading football clubs, namely Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester United, to name a few, and it has been promoted by global stars of the beautiful game, such as Arjen Robben, Daniel Surridge and Gareth Bale.
