With World Cup fever everywhere there is a group of players in Burlington and Hamilton who would be happy to see Brazil scoring a few goals.
Brazilian Soccer Schools began when Middelsborough FC fan Simon Clifford met Juninho back in 1996. Juninho introduced Simon to the South American game of Futebol de Salão and Clifford knew that the game would have a major impact on the technical development of young footballers in the UK and other international countries.
Futebol de Salão is the game that Brazilian legends like Juninho, Jairzinho, Socrates, Kaka and Pele all credit for their skill. Since the introduction of Brazilian Soccer Schools in the UK, England stars of the past, present and future including Michael Owen, Wayne Rooney, Theo Walcott and Micah Richards have all benefitted from the training methods.
Now, a few years on, Brazilian Soccer Schools are found across the world and are providing players for both professional and national youth teams. And with five World Cups to England’s one, Brazil will be watched just as closely as the Three Lions are this summer.
Head of Brazilian Soccer Schools Richard Sutherland said: “The World Cup is always a hard time for players involved with our Schools in England. On the one hand they all support England and obviously they want them to win the tournament, but on the other hand they love watching Brazil for their approach to the game and would also like to see them do well. We could all learn a bit from watching them as well.”
Ian McClurg, Director of Coaching for Brazilian Soccer Schools Burlington confirms how much his students are enjoying watching the Brazilians in action. "With no Canadian team in the tournament, many of our families are following the Brazilian team. The technical skill, speed of play and flair of the Brazilian players confirms what is possible through many years of dedication and hard-work. Our students spend many hours improving their technical skills and are inspired by the Brazilian players at the 2010 World Cup. Watching these players in action can only add to their overall soccer education."

My name is Ian McClurg, Director of Coaching. We have established this blog to comunicate the benefits of our training approach in improving the technical ability of young soccer players in Canada.
Brazilian Soccer Schools (BSS) illustrate that the dreams of any child, combined with daily practice and a unique devotion to the ball, can produce players of unseen levels of technical and physical ability.
The BSS syllabus covers every aspect of soccer. Our coaching is by no means exclusively Brazilian but there are 4 key aspects that have their origins in Brazil:
-Futebol de Salao
-Emphasis on individual skills
-Increased training time
-Physical Training
We hope that we can exchange ideas, highlight success stories and contribute to the debate in Canadian soccer on how we can establish a culture of continuous learning.
We hope that you will enjoy and contribute to the blog.
