In the 70's the great Dutch Coach Wiel Coerver, aiming to improve individual soccer skills and develop more effective attacking players, created a new way to teach soccer. Coerver first analyzed the great players on slow motion video and came to the conclusion that many of their one-on-one and control skills could be broken down and taught to most players. From these few "moves" of great players, he and his fellow Directors devised hudnreds of Individual and Group exercises and games which formed the basis of the Coerver™ Coaching events and products.

In 1985, Alfred Galustian and Charlie Cooke joined Coerver and established the Coerver™ Coaching Global Network. 
Since that time Coerver™ Coaching has expanded its programs and products to Asia, the United States, Europe, Australia and Africa. It has become one of the most respected teaching programs with an unmatched list of endorsements from National Federations, Professional Clubs, Stars and Coaches. That brings us to the NEW ERA. The next stage in Coerver™ Coaching development. Coerver™ Coaching has always been based on the premise that team performance ultimately depends upon the individual players' capabilities and performance.

It has through its schools, camps and educational products provided young players (and their coaches and teachers) with an essential "Foundation" that team play can be built on.

The Method has been endorsed by many famous international players and coaches including Franz Beckenbauer and Karl Heinz Rummennigge of West Germany, Peter Beardsley of Liverpool, Newcastle and England, Gordon Streachan of Leeds United and Scotland, John Collins of Celtic and Scotland, Roberto Rivelino of Brazil, Alex Ferguson of Manchester United, Liam Brady of Inter Milan and Ireland, and Anson Dorance, coach of the US Women's 1991 World Cup Champions
