EXPRESS YOURSELF INITIATIVE
The Express Yourself Initiative was our way of offering children at all primary schools in Crawley free expert coaching . The aim of the initiative was to encourage children to use their imagination whilst getting some intensive exercise. The exercise was a great success with 500 children participating, including 140 at one mass event. We hope to make it even bigger in 2012. Thanks to all schools for their support.
Thank you for your interest in Brazilian soccer Schools
Brazilian Soccer Schools - Crawley and Tandridge welcomes children between the ages of 5 and 16, irrespective of ability level. We exist to give children the best start in football.
With well over 1 million children enrolled in soccer academies in 61 countries, Brazilian Soccer schools can rightly claim to be the largest soccer skills coaching scheme in the world. This is our third year in Crawley and Tandridge and we are starting to see the results through the great improvement in players who come to BSS. We are getting many new players through word of mouth - often as a result of parents seeing BSS boys do something special in matchplay in games outside BSS sessions. We rely totally on the methods introduced by the Brazilian Soccer Schools programme and the enthusiasm and expertise of our coaches.
The central aim of Brazilian Soccer Schools is to encourage children to spend longer working with the ball practicing and developing their skills. Everything we do has this in mind at at BSS sessions almost all of the time will be spent working with the ball at your feet.
Training sessions feature a high level of coaching, normally incorporating music to maintain a fun and progressive atmosphere.We work on developing technique and ball skills, giving children confidence in controlling and using the ball to maximum effect. We use a Futebol de Salao ball for much of the time, a small, heavy, low bouncing ball used by all of the top Brazilian players, now specially made for Brazilian Soccer schools by Nike.
“I developed my skills playing Futebol de Salão in my home town of Bauru." - Pele
We believe that good behaviour is essential and we aim to raise expectations of our children. We have seen the results of this ethos at first hand, firstly by visiting other Brazilian Soccer School Centres, and then adopting this ethos in Crawley and Tandridge.
From Pele and Rivelino, Zico and Socrates, through to Kaka and Ronaldino, the magic of Brazilian soccer skills is an important part of what we are about. Come and play the Brazilian way!
