Coaching Dynamics
The Staff
The staff are Nationally Licensed Coaches with years of experience at all levels both club and recreational levels with a passion for soccer. Coerver® Hawaii our program is strictly “club neutral”. It will not be a venue for scouting or player recruitment, either by coaches or parents. We also use, as assistants and “Big Brother / Big Sister” role models, top level players who have grown up with Coerver®. As we grow we will add new trainers to the program that have completed the Coerver Youth Diploma course.
“Skillful Players First” is the Coerver Priority
