Globe FC in Hamilton and Stoney Creek is looking for motivated, outgoing and enthusiastic Soccer Academy Coaches that are engaging and high energy for our Year-Round Youth Soccer Academy for children 4-14 yrs old.
At Globe FC Academy, we focus on building the player as a whole. We understand that each player is at a different stage of development in relation to both his/her physical growth, as well as, the game of soccer in particular. Our training focuses on identifying the current strengths and gaps of each individual player and working to build on the foundations of his/her overall and long-term development. Physical literacy is our utmost priority, giving our players the building blocks to thoroughly enjoy and excel at not only the game of soccer but in all physical activities and sports in which they partake for the rest of their lives. Along with consistent physical literacy input and training, players will be taught and will gain full competence in the technical skills required to excel and grow in the beautiful game. Heavy emphasis will be placed upon the player’s proficiency and demonstration of technical skills, which in turn will allow the player to be receptive and perceptive to more complex tactical aspects of the game.
