DHD coaches have created a new
summer soccer program that teaches techniques, tactics and decision-making
Thank you for stopping by to find out more about DHD Soccer. We are a grassroots organization of soccer aficionados who also happen to be players and coaches. Each of us has grown up playing the game. Some of us have been coaching soccer for over 20 years at the community and high school level. The others are current and former players who also have an unreserved passion for the game and want to pass on what they have learned to the next generation of players.
College and professional soccer coaches across the country agree that the single area needing the most attention in the US is the development of fundamental skills. In Europe, youth academies run by the top professional clubs and national teams see the need to develop decision-making skills as their top priority. At DHD Soccer our mission is to blend these two goals into a unique program that builds a solid foundation for each player to further progress in his or her understanding and enjoyment of the game.
We are not top level professional coaches, but rather individuals have coached for a number of years and know through experience what works and what doesn’t work. Our coaching methods have been gleaned from World Cup winning coaches, to coaches in other sports who were equally effective in motivating their players. Our goal is to not only help your child become a competent soccer player, but introduce him or her to the many other facets of the game that will lead to a lifetime of enjoying “the beautiful game.”
“Last night, as soon as we got in the car, Stephen said, “I really like playing with this group. That was Fun!!!”
My exclamation points cannot even relate how enthusiastic he was when he said that. He really had a good time and he practiced his new moves until we literally had to take his soccer ball away from him so he would go to bed.”
