European Football School (EFS) has rapidly earned an enviable reputation as a Soccer School of excellence. At EFS we have set out a European Soccer fitness philosophy with a well-structured program of technical and tactical skills developed by EFS the coaches. The coaching staff of EFS have both the experience and ability for players developing their skills. In joining the Year Round Program (YRP), you can be assured of reaching the highest standards as well as a deep understanding of all aspects of the game. EFS welcomes boys and girls from ages 7-19 years, regardless of ability. EFS has experience working with youth soccer associations and individual teams developing team tactics and individual skills of players.
The EFS YRP currently provides 1 1/2 & 2 hour training sessions over one or two days per week.The development of young athletes at EFS is crucial. Our philosophy is explanation, demonstration, observation, and correction. We would say that at EFS we have the best demonstration and correction in the country. Repetition is one of the most important parts of working with young athletes. One of our main objectives at EFS is to not only produce players of outstanding ability but also work with these young people to help them build character and become quality human beings.

“It’s one team, so it should make one sound,” says Schütte, who joined Vancouver-based head coach Saibo Talic at the camp this week at the Esler fields.
Saibo Talic, head coach of the European Football School — a rapidly growing soccer school of excellence based out of Vancouver — selected three players from Williams Lake to attend two tournaments with his EFS teams in the U.S. during the month.
The U18 Girls and U18 Boys teams defended their championship status from last year, both recording 1st place finishes on Sunday evening. The U15 boys and U17 girls teams were tournament finalists, both placing 2nd, and the U14 Girls and U17 boys played strong matches and placed 4th in their divisions. We should mention that the U14 Girls played up one division, in Metro, which held some very strong competition, but the team of U13, U14 and U15 players competed very well. Saibo is very pleased with their results.
The European Football School, a North Shore soccer training facility, flew 2 women’s teams, aged U17 and U18, to Prescott Valley, Arizona, to compete in the Yavapai Cup Soccer Tournament April 22 – 25th, 2010. The players, and those parents who accompanied the team to provide their support, were surprised to find snow on the ground upon arrival, but then relieved when the weather changed quickly to sunshine before the competition began.
The European Football School sent a girls U14/U15 girls team to Laguna Beach California in late April 2009 to play 5 games against some very strong competition from established clubs in the Laguna Niguel area. Our young team, comprised of 6 U15 players, 11 U14 players and 1 U13 player, worked hard at extra training sessions for 4 weeks to prepare for the trip but with only 1 exhibition game under their belt they would be challenged by the competition.
