There was a time when children played football in the streets and courts with their friends.  It was a joyful time. They spent hours outside in all sorts of weather creating their own games. They experimented with all sorts of tricks and skills without criticism or correction.  They corrected themselves because they wanted to get better and enjoy the thrill of mastery, not from a pressure to win. 

 

This is natural for children.

 

At the same time,  they attempted to emulate the soccer heroes that they watched on TV.  The game belonged to the children and if they didn’t like it, they created a new game with new challenges.  They didn’t need adults or coaches to have fun or to improve.  They didn’t need adults to create rules or to referee the games.  They sorted things out themselves so that they could have fun.  If the rules weren’t clear and players argued, then they went through the process of resolving the issues.  This is also an important skill. 

 

They simply wanted to enjoy themselves, express themselves, make friends and create.

 

At Global Street Soccer we are recreating the environment that children once loved and one that allowed the greatest players of all time to flourish - supported by expert guidance from our coaches.

 

We are giving the game back to the players (where it belongs) and we have created a groundbreaking curriculum to facilitate this.
