A little bit about us.
ABOUT THE FOUNDER'S PHILOSOPHY.
Not happy with the way in which the game is often coached in North America with its over reliance on size, speed and athleticism, they decided on a different way to present the game to both players and coaches who had not been raised in a true soccer-culture environment.
​
The founders draw on their experience as Directors of Coaching and Board Members of soccer clubs, as well as coaching at New York Red Bulls, Bayern Munich affiliates, Barcelona Escola and FC Arizona to be able to provide the best coaching, training and coaching education available for both players, coaches, teams and clubs.
​
They believe that in order to develop competent, intelligent and problem solving players, a coach must first invest the time in three things;
-
His own knowledge of the game and how to analyse it and then coach it.
-
How to generate players that are technically dominant in 1v1, 2v1 & 3v2 situations.
-
Hours and hours of Rondo and positional (juego de posicion) games.
​
Both life long Barcelona fans, they bring this philosophy to the players, coaches and clubs they work with.
​
