Methodology
14 steps to success
At our foundation stands Johan Cruyff, the man who ‘gave shape’ Total Soccer in the ’70’s. His ideas are the basis of all the soccer programs, founded on the premise that the player’s ball control and tactical development always receive top priority in training. To guarantee the same roots and way of coaching we bring Dutch qualified coaches with essential skills to teach our methodology.
Academics
Our mission is to “Educate the Next Generation of Sports Leaders” and the only way to do that is by providing higher learning opportunities. We rely on a superb faculty staff who share the same passion of educating future sports leaders. It is not just about theory; we believe in the Experience!
