Welcome to the offcial Brazilian Soccer Schools Sunderland page. Please like this page and visit our website http://braziliansoccerschools.co.uk/
Brazilian Soccer Schools were introduced by Simon Clifford to address an urgent need to provide all children with a dynamic, globally-proven and cutting edge football coaching programme. Simon felt a glaring gap had emerged and a sustainable, grassroots development
programme was needed to maximise the natural skills of young players. Today,
Brazilian Soccer Schools are now the world’s largest chai
n of independently operated soccer schools with franchises running across five continents, with the centre in Sunderland running since 2001. Quite simply our aim is to change the way that football is both coached and played, and to do this we have to change the way the game is taught to children. We believe we have made a productive start in doing this with the introduction of the game of Futebol de Salão and the Brazilian Soccer Schools coaching programme. There is, however, much more work to be done. Our ultimate ambition is to provide the platform to create the complete and perfect footballer.

Day 18 - 24th July 2026
I love this skill. You can also add any number of flicks behind the legs.
As the ball is behind the legs it helps add a bit more protection to skill, making it more difficult for defenders to reach the ball.

Day 17 - 23rd July 2026
This is why I love the triangle skill so much. There are so many variations and skills that can come from the basic skill.
The next few days are all going to be skills that use the foundations of the triangle.
Here we have it changing into a turn to help change direction.
We see this skill used a lot during our sessions.

Day 16 - 22nd July 2026
Another progression of yesterday’s skill. Taking the ball behind the legs protects the ball from the defender but also helps change direction.
Mastering both feet helps with balance, coordination and speed.

Day 15 - 21st July 2026
V drags are a great way to change direction, but also a way of beating a defender.
Every player should have this skill in their locker!

Day 14 - 20th July 2026
This is just one progression of the skill from yesterday.
Being able to switch feet effortlessly is so important to be able to change direction, but also helps learn to protect the ball more effectively.

Day 13 - 19th July 2026
As promised here is the second skill for today having missed yesterday.
This is one of my favourites to work on in sessions. Such a nice skill and so many variations that can come from it.

Day 12 - 18th July 2026
One day late posting on the 19th, as yesterday was my sons 3rd birthday, so today will have 2 skills.
This is a great way to start to open up the hips and work on passing technique with the insides.

Day 11 - 17th July 2026
Learning to switch feet is a skill in itself.
Same skill as the last video, but we now have different footwork and aim to switch the ball more to the side.
16/07/2026
Day 10 - 16th July 2026
This is a great skill to learn to drag the ball, which is a excellent way to turn and change direction.
It also helps get the ankle into the correct position for shooting and volleying with the laces.
The skill itself is also a great way to stop the defender, as you pull the ball back before quickly pushing it past them to create space for a shot, pass or to dribble beyond them.

Day 9 - 15th July 2026
It’s Semi final day!!!
Come on England!
Skill for the day is developing the roll over from yesterday. This skill keeps the ball moving from side to side, which helps agility and coordination.
