Coerver Method The Coerver Method is a football coaching technique which Coerver created. By analysing videotapes of various great players including Pelé, he devised his concept which advocates that skill could not only be inherent with the young players but could also be passed on in a comprehensive academic manner. Under this technique, players progress in a structured manner, pyramidal, from basics of ball mastery to a tactically driven group attack. They would be exposed to the other essentials like Receiving and Passing, Moves (1v1), Speed and Lethal Finishing.
The 1998 FIFA World Cup in France saw the first Coerver student, Boudewijn Zenden who played for the Dutch national team, make it to the FIFA World Cup.
