BSS Burlington A Growing Force

We would like to thank all our players, parents and staff for a very successful first year in Canada. Enclosed below is an article that appeared on the main Brazilian Soccer school website in the UK. Once again, we thank you for your continued support.

Brazilian Soccer Schools (BSS) Burlington continues to expand in Canada, commanding the full-time services of Director of Coaching Ian McClurg.

The centre is a sub-franchise within the master franchise for the whole of Canada and it is already playing a crucial role in raising the profile of the world's largest football coaching organisation. Ian has recently added a further training base to the centre's roster to ensure that the demand is catered for, and the interest continues to grow as more and more children in the region aspire to follow in the footsteps of Pele, Zico, Ronaldinho, Kaka and many more Brazilian football icons.

BSS was founded in England in 1996 by Simon Clifford following a research trip into the secrets of Brazil's success, and the main component he imported to the UK was Futebol de Salao.Played with a size two, weighted football on a basketball-sized court, Futebol de Salao is proven to improve overall technique, and the likes of Micah Richards, Theo Walcott, John Bostock and Wayne Rooney, who have all benefitted from the BSS syllabus, only adds to the organisation's reputation.BSS Canada joins other overseas centres in nations such as Singapore, Thailand, Australia, America, Finland and Nigeria, seeing over one million children training on a weekly basis.

Head of BSS, Richard Sutherland, said: "It's testament to the hard work of all of the staff involved with BSS Burlington that they are already adding new venues and sessions."The initial stages of raising the profile of BSS in any given area is the most crucial, and Ian and his team have hit the ground running."We have high hopes for the operation in Canada, and are confident that all the children that join the centre will benefit both in footballing and personal terms."
