The Goal
To help every player become more confident, more creative and smarter on the ball, and enjoy the game while they do it.
Every Southside coach holds a CONCACAF or CONMEBOL coaching licence and a current criminal record check.
Led by Technical Director Marko Stambolija, trained at the Tovo Barcelona Academy, we coach the Dutch Total Football way: every player learns to play, think and move in every role.
