Many first time youth soccer coaches ask me about Coerver drills. Do they work? I know they seem a bit pricey, almost $100 for the Make Your Move Package, but they are by far the best videos on the market for youth teams of any level. The great thing about Coerver Drills is that they take skills and drills and simplify them. Even entry level players are able to do the simpler drills from the beginning. Then, the more complex Coerver Drills build off of the skills of the earlier ones. It is a great model that will help you to dramatically improve the skill level of your team quickly.
Another great thing about Coerver Drills is that they start a new skill with no pressure. This allows players to gain in confidence before they are expected to try a new move near a defender. Then, light pressure is added where a defender is near, but not actively trying to take the ball. Finally, that new skill is done under full pressure in a game like situation. This is the beauty of Coerver Drills. When done consistently, they will help your players to gain not only the skills, but the confidence to use those skills in a game. No more watching your players shine in drills, but fall apart come game time. Coerver Drills are designed to not only teach players how to do a skill, but when, where, and how to use it as well. If you are looking to take your team to the next level, I would highly recommend Coerver Drills.
