Around the world people and international soccer teams admire the Dutch style of playing soccer; adventurous and attacking, always working to possess or gain possession of the soccer ball. Many icons of modern soccer come from this small nation and the prestige of the KNVB: Ruud van Nistelrooij, Wesley Sneijder, Arjen Robben and Robin van Persie just to name a few. Soccer teams traveling internationally can learn from the same coaches who taught these players!
The Dutch soccer vision begins with soccer games of 4v4, in an amazing number of variations. These soccer games provide the foundation for playing attractive soccer. Each player, girl or boy, enjoys many touches on the soccer ball, while learning to solve a variety of soccer problems. 4v4 always provides lots of goals and excitement as well.
KNVB Soccer Clinics are customized training programs of 3 to 4 days. An officially licensed KNVB coach works with a girls or boys soccer team and its coach on individual soccer skills, as well as team tactics. The KNVB coach also analyzes one or two soccer games against local soccer teams and evaluates the players. Upon completion, each player receives a KNVB certificate and some KNVB give-aways, where the coach gets a special 'KNVB Clinic Coach Kit'.
Soccer coaches benefit even more from KNVB Soccer Clinics, by learning from some of the best coaches in the world in an environment where you are the ONLY soccer pupil. You will be able to observe and learn as the KNVB soccer coach trains your girls or boys team. You will have extensive one-on-one time with the a KNVB coach to discuss the Dutch soccer coaching methods, tactics, and other issues as they relate to coaching in general, and to your boys or girls team specifically. In essence, the KNVB clinic works just like a private soccer coaching course!
