A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor!

The better each boy is with the ball at their feet, the better they can play their role in the team. We want our boys to enjoy and love being on the ball, developing excellent technical capabilities where they can execute a wide range of moves, tricks and turns and control the ball comfortably especially when under pressure.

“I don’t believe skill was, or ever will be, the result of coaches. It is a result of a love affair between the child and the ball.” – Manfred Schellscheidt

I cannot control the wind, but I can adjust the sail!

You can have all the skills, tricks and fitness in the world, but if you don’t use it wisely, all that talent is wasted. If you want to use it wisely, you have to read the information around you, analyze it and make good decisions based on what is happening.

At Hanseatic Soccer Academy players are exposed to realistic game situations in practice to help in their overall development. They are constantly denied time and space in which to play with the ball so that they learn how to play under pressure.

As players progress through the Academy the emphasis on tactical awareness increases.

We are all in the same boat!

The concept of teamwork is extremely important to the success of our teams at Hanseatic Soccer Academy. Learning to cooperate with others towards a common goal is what builds character, friendship and important life skills for players and coaches. Teamwork and unselfishness create the backbone of a great team. Working towards a common goal can teach the value of hard work, commitment and dedication, support the development of communication skills and teach how to work better with others. Our players are part of something of value, we help each other when struggling, treat each other with respect and offer our teammates words of encouragement when they are performing either poorly or admirably. The friendship built within the Hanseatic Soccer Academy can last a lifetime.
