“AN ARTISTIC APPROACH TO THE GAME, WHERE THE PLAYERS GET TO PAINT THEIR OWN PICTURE”
Danny McGhee - Professional freestyle footballer and founder, Global Freestyle
We are a Street Soccer School that champions individuality, challenges the conventional football development programmes and inspires kids and coaches alike to develop a more creative and fun approach to football.
WHAT'S HAPPENIN'
Street Soccer Schools is an organisation that trains football coaches and football players in a very unique way. Our coaches utilise the modern football sub-cultures street and freestyle soccer to create a learning environment that builds confidence, improves ball control, and lets the player be expressive. Our coaches are guides rather than facilitators.
Street Soccer Schools runs accredited qualifications at Level 1 and Level 2 courses so that individuals who come to us leave with recognised coaching qualifications.
We will be launching our first ever Street Soccer Schools coaching centre in early 2016, for young players to learn and develop using our innovative programme.
The organisation is a collaboration of great minds, Danny McGhee former professional footballer and professional football freestyler, and Pat McCarry, one of the UK's leading football development professionals.
Their aim is to have an impact on the way football is taught and played in the UK and further afield.
“If you walk in the footprints of others, you won’t make any of your own.”
WHY?
Frustrated by the lack of creativity and expression within British and American soccer, we are passionate about inspiring players to become more expressive, creative, and confident.
Our aim is to grow and nurture footballs artistic sub cultures Freestyle Football and Street Soccer, using them to leverage our brand, whilst utilising them to challenge the way conventional Football is played and taught.
