Skills videos for Players

Ball mastery is the core for player success. Many of the techniques shown below are the ones that I have been using in practices for CapitalFC United as part of the Coerver Coaching system. Continue to check here as I will be posting more. These activities are great to try if practice is cancelled or if you want to work on your own and can be in front of a computer, laptop, smartphone, etc. Most can be done inside with bare feet or sneakers in a small area. Once you get the basics, put your cleats on and try them outside. Some of the videos will start with how to do a move, and will then progress to how those can be incorporated into practices — so players should focus mostly on the first part of these videos. If you have links that you like, shoot me an email and I will get it posted. If you take your own video of a new move that you want others to try, send me that too and I will post!
