Washington Timbers is proud to bring back Eddie van Schaick and his team to offer you an unique opportunity to gain first-hand knowledge of Dutch soccer methodology. As one of the most decorated football cultures in Europe, the Dutch and the Ajax club have always been well-known for development of the ‘total football’ methodology and have advanced the careers of many youth players in becoming professionals at some of the largest clubs in Europe.
This is the 4th year in a row that Eddie Van Schaick and his team are coming to the USA to conduct coaching education sessions and share the soccer development methodologies used at top academies such as Ajax Amsterdam. There is a reason why the Netherlands continues to develop top players with a small population and limited resources. Come find out the planning and execution of their training methods that will help enhance your own youth program. This event will appeal to academy staff, directors of coaching, academy coaches, speed and agility trainers, and more.
Last year the instructors focused on the 8 to 12 year old age group. This year is a continuation with focus on the development of 12 to 16 year old players.
