ABOUT OLE SOCCER ACADEMY
Soccer is often taught only as a simple game in western countries. This minimizes the historical importance of the sport, leaving only interest in results and financial benefits. The idea of formal coaching has focused on the coach’s progress instead of developing the players’ techniques.
We recognize the need to encourage players to experience soccer differently, to enjoy the thrill of the sport itself rather than stressing the need for a trophy, whether or not the skills have been developed. We believe teaching soccer is not only based on developing technical-tactical elements but also on developing the control skills of the individual. Knowledge of the rules and history of the sport plays an important role and teaches them to adapt to their style. We restore values that stress group unity and mutual respect over individuality and autonomy. Based on this philosophy, OLE SOCCER ACADEMY started in 2013 to bring a different soccer concept to children. We will focus on instilling a genuine love for the sport, so they have fun while playing alongside their teammates. We believe soccer is meant for everyone to enjoy. Everyone is welcome.
