Volf Soccer Academy is proud to bring Eddie van Schaick, from the Netherlands, to offer local Vancouver coaches 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.

Eddie Van Schaick has come to the USA the past 4 years to conduct coaching education sessions and share the soccer development methodologies used at top academies such as Ajax Amsterdam, and this our chance to welcome him to Vancouver, Canada. 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.
