The Dutch Touch Coaching Academy will organise a clinic based on the fundamentals used within our Academy. The Dutch Touch Coaching Academy believes that coach and player will benefit the most by using the interactive side of coaching methods.

The instructors are:

·       BJ Heijmans

·       Peter Langens

The coaching clinic is for football coaches who are coaching u8 – u12.

Coaching topics of the Dutch Touch Coaching Academy are:

·         4 v 4, the ideal method how to teach/read youth players the game

The magic rectangle has overall a lot of benefits, especially related to the organisation of the training session. In combination with the circuit training the coach will be able to do a session without moving one cone or marker.

·         The Coerver method for developing moves and fast footwork

·         Magic rectangle / Circuit training
