Coaches from across the country travelled to South Yorkshire on Saturday to attend the second installment of the Coerver® Coaching Play Like The Stars 1 v 1 Coach Education course which was hosted in the steel city by Sheffield Wednesday FC.
Coaches from both grassroots and professional levels of the game were tutored by Coerver® UK director Scott Wright who delivered the full day course and said “It was fantastic to be able to come up to Sheffield to deliver our Play Like The Stars Course. Following on from our pilot course in Birmingham at the start of the month, we made some adjustments to the course which included extended the time by an hour and also introducing a player session at the end of the day where Sheffield Wednesday U10′s really did their club proud”.
Scott added “One of the beauties of our coach education courses is that we always have attendees from all levels of the game and from different parts of the country. This course in Sheffield was no different with representation from both professional clubs in the city as well as numerous grassroots clubs from many different areas of the country which always provides a great learning environment”.
“We also know that we are providing a course with an extremely important topic for all levels of the game in 1 v 1. With there being little to no focus on this topic in any of the national or UEFA licensed courses, we are providing attendees of this course with our latest knowledge in this topic which has evolved over the last thirty years with a focus on how to teach 1 v 1 skills from mastery to game effective use”.
“We now only have two more courses in England this year which take place in London this weekend and Stoke the following weekend and look forward to working with many more coaches from different levels of the game over the next couple of weeks”.

Coaches from across the country descended on Birmingham City FC’s Wasthills training ground at the weekend to take part in the pilot Coerver® Play Like The Stars 1 v 1 Coach Education course. This new course focuses specifically on the topic of 1 v 1 and provides attendees with the latest Coerver® content in this most vital area of the game.
Coaches from both grassroots and professional levels of the game were tutored by Coerver® UK director Scott Wright who delivered the full day course through a series of theory and practical sessions aimed at providing attendees with knowledge into how to teach 1 v 1 skills from mastery to game effective use.
Scott said of the pilot course in Birmingham “It was great to deliver the pilot course at Birmingham City FC on Saturday and fantastic to see coaches from all levels of the game in attendance”.
“Anyone that has been through a national or UEFA licensed course will know that the topic of 1 v 1
gets little to no coverage and we have a thirty plus year history of focusing on and teaching this topic. We feel that our new Play Like The Stars course goes some way to filling the knowledge gap left from the licensed courses in this most vital area of the game and it is knowledge that every coach of young players needs to have no matter the level that they work at”.
“1 v 1 always seems to be a topic that we work on with professional clubs, at their request, only last week we delivered CPD at Werder Bremen in Germany on this topic and in recent months we have also delivered national federation CPD for the Czech FA & Northern Ireland FA B licence, A Licence & Pro Licence courses so it shows that there is a real demand for this knowledge not only in the UK but also abroad”.
“We have three more courses in England, all at professional club venues, coming up in November and we are looking forward to travelling up and down the country to deliver this course and are looking forward to working with many coaches from all levels of the game”.
Grassroots Coach Pat Tomkins of Bustleholme Villans FC U9’s & Bustleholme Lions FC U11’s in Birmingham summed up the course:
“I feel that the Coerver Play like the stars 1 v 1 is an excellent course for coaches to attend and would be of interest to a coach of any age group but would be an invaluable tool for a coach in the “lower age groups” where they can really get the players to learn these essential skills. The course was delivered by Scott Wright who was an excellent tutor and was supported by the Coerver coaches who are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Overall I would score the course a ten out of ten and was the most useful course I have attended or been involved with and I look forward to attending future courses”.

Coerver® Coaching UK are delighted to announce that general booking is now open for the 2015 Youth Diploma course in England.
On-line booking was temporarily suspended this morning due to a technical issue caused by a high volume of bookings at 09:00 a.m. Our IT department have resolved the issue and bookings can now be made.
Following four hugely successful years since the course launched in 2011, the Youth Diploma will again be delivered exclusively by Coerver® Co-founder, Alf Galustian and will take place in Stoke, London & Birmingham between May-June 2015.

Coerver® UK Director, Scott Wright said of the course “Over the last four years, our Youth Diploma course really has evolved into the must attend course for coaches working with young players at all levels. Attendees have traveled from twenty five different countries from around the world to date and our 2015 Youth Diploma courses are shaping up to be our biggest and best to date”.
Scott added “Due to the unprecedented interest we have had in the 2015 dates in England, we introduced a Priority Booking window which enabled coaches that registered an interest through our website to book before the dates were released generally which has happened this morning”.
Coerver® UK Director, Scott Wright – 2014 Coerver® Youth Diploma – Fulham FC
“This window was available between 09:00 a.m. on Monday 3rd November and 09:00 a.m. this morning (Wednesday 5th November). At the time of writing we have sold over 50% of all available places during the priority booking window which shows the huge level of interest in the course”.
“The course dates are still over 6 months away so this uptake reflects the fact that during the pre-registration period, we have had three inquiries for every place we actually have available. I must stress that if you want to attend the Youth Diploma course in England during 2015, you will need to book as soon as you can as we had many disappointing people who missed out in 2014”.
