The many methods for teaching soccer in JVKs style as well as the other Soaring Soccer coaching staff are greatly influenced by the Dutch vision of coaching. This is where technical development comes first. There is less down time because of little or no lines, less talk, more action.

No player is left out. No player is over looked. No player can hide. So every player is involved.

Every player will be encouraged. Every player will be recognized. Soaring Soccer Staff "will" catch a great moment in every player and let the world know! By the time a practice or training is over, each youngster should be proud of something they've achieved.

The psychology of every age has been studied and is understood whats needed for success.

At the U6 and U7 ages, we do our best to use games that have hints of Mosston's Slanty Line Theory. This is where every player is able to square off with his or her own best ability. The activities will never stay to easy and will never stay to difficult. There isn't always a right or wrong way, so creativity will be acknowledged and praised.

At U8 and up more things start with the ELM. Yes you think of a big strong tree, but we think its the start of a great person. "E"ffort, "L"earning which always comes from making some "M"istakes. This can surely be carried on through out every persons life.

We will help players figure out a solution through what we call guided discovery.  We don't bark orders, we don't give the answers. We ask the right questions to help the light bulb turn on.

We also help players realize that the game is fun because its a challenge which means that there is never a guarantee of a victory decided by the numbers on a score board.

More inspirations in coaching soccer for JVK come from NSCAA, the German Youth Soccer Development Program, The English FA, EvertonYouthAcademy and even some Brazilian and Mexican theories.

JVK's certificates and licenses are not the local level, state level or even regional level but NATIONAL levels. JVK is also certified by the English FA in Youth Psychology for Soccer and has the Brazilian "C" level coaching license.
