About Coach Jeremie
Originally hailing from France, Jeremie has coached in Auckland for the last 12 years.
His coaching style is open minded (where players can express themselves) but in a structured environment. He uses mainly game based exercises (TGFU) which focuses on player's development. For players aged 9 to 12 years old the primary focus is on having fun and learning from their mistakes. Mastering basic football techniques and game understanding are the main objectives.
A few of the reviews from parents of our centres:
"The skills training is great for players who would like to improve in all aspects of football. The difference in players doing the skills training and those who don't in the same age group is huge. I can definitely recommend skills training for any child that loves the game and would like to improve and prepare for the season."
"The skills centre is a very professionally run programme, with great coaching, activities and drills. It is great value for money and I can already see a noticeable difference "
"Fantastic programme. Thank you to all the dedicated coaches for having the patience to teach these kids not only football, discipline as well. My son really enjoyed the programme and looking forward to next term sessions. I'm really happy with the progress he has made."
"Fantastic programme with the right level of time spent on single activities and to maintain engagement whilst having fun. All the kids have progressed well, enjoy it and I'm sure are delighted to have been part of it. Coach Kieran has been excellent and extremely pleased he has taken the skills class."
