American soccer is getting left behind. Many young players are not being exposed to quality technical training and as such are just part of a machine designed to win games and create capital for clubs.
​
Too much emphasis is put on winning and not enough on technical development.
Don't get left behind.
If you want to be exposed to something different, book a clinic. You are investing a lot in your soccer future. So take advantage of this learning opportunity.

Based out of Northern California.
They say soccer is life. I say soccer for life. In my home country Great Britain there is a big push to keep people active through their retirement years. Playing leagues now go as high as over seventy fives. There are even World club championships for over seventy fives. I had the honor to be invited to play in a practice game one of these verry senior national teams. What a thrill a schoolboys dream to wear an England shirt, no matter what the age. Never too late I say. I want to pass on much of what I have learnt so the next soccer generation can carry on improving the game I love. So, here is the truth of it all. Most soccer clubs and academies no longer invest in the future of a young player. They no longer create the great players of the past, whose individuality displayed wonders that made the game so exciting. Soccer machines are now being created with one purpose, and that is to win tomorrow's game. As a result, the biggest two factors that determine a player's future potential, growth rate and instincts, are being suppressed by mechanical drills and structured formulars that look good in a drill but have little practical use in game situations. Many young talented players are being tossed out of academies and clubs because the goal is to win now not develop for the future. It is my mission to offer training that allows all players regardless of ability to reach their full potential and show the soccer parent coach and club that soccer offers so many more great joys than just winning a game.
Soccer Kicking Clinic
All players receive a free Kykmate soccer training ball.
Kicking skills will change your game. By the time I learned this, it was too late for me to reach my full potential. However, it's never too late to learn.
My Resume
I have learned my trade, I have studied my craft, and I know what I speak. This picture is of my trophy wall. I show this as a history of my soccer career both as a player and coach. Around one hundred and fifty at a guess. Knowledge is the key to success, and as I learned from others I pass this knowledge forward. Whether as a parent coach or interested party, sports can unite us all in a common interest. Be successful by being informed.

Novissoccer Clinics
Novissoccer specialises in skill-driven clinics. The individual skill level within a team is the determining factor in a team's success. Novissoccer specialises in evaluations and the transfer of those evaluations into specific training drills that target team and individual needs. Quantity is not the path to success; Knowledge and quality training are the only paths to reach one's full potential.

Correct kicking Techniques
I find it amazing how after decades of soccer advancements, so many players don't know how to kick a soccer ball correctly or even efficiently. By efficiently I mean maximizing leg strength and being able to decide the right kick for the right situation. Even at the college level I observe many players unable to strike the ball correctly. Correct techniques can only be taught by a person who understands those techniques. Just swinging your foot at the ball is not the answer. For a limited time only while supplies last., Novissoccer will offer a 2-hour training session teaching the correct way to strike a soccer ball. This class will not only benefit players of all ages but also coaches who wish to give their players productive information.
Team Clinic up to 18 players.
​
Individual Skill Development
Individual skill development relies on the correct evaluation of a player. Not all players are created equally when it comes to mechanics. Trying to teach a player to emulate an individual skill of another will on most occasions end in frustration and failure. Each player within a team structure has a unique ability. Identifying and developing that unique ability is the best pathway for maximizing one's potential. Novissoccer has trained players of all ages and all levels. The maximization of individual ability is the determining factor in how far a player may progress. Maximizing one's potential is the definition of success. Pushing toward an unattainable level is the definition of failure.
Individual skill drills work better in small groups.

Youth Soccer Handbook a platform for success
Over my 50-plus years of playing/coaching there is not much I have not seen. So much success, yet so much destruction. So much happiness yet so much disappointment. This is what the passion of sports brings us. I have seen families and friends' bond over this sport I love, however I have seen families and friendships fractured by this sport I love. I wrote Youth soccer handbook a platform for success because I want to offer sound honest information to all who want to get the most out of their soccer experiences. This book is an information tool designed to help guide you through the highs and lows, the truths and misinformation, the positives and negatives that engulf the soccer experience. Information is the key to staying on the path to success, so be informed. This book was written for you.
