Coerver Method or the Coerver Coaching Technique is a soccer coaching technique created by Wiel Coerver.

By analysing videotapes of various great players including Pelé, Wiel Coerver, Dutch coach of the 1970's, fragmented the vision and moves of his players and devised a new concept in football which advocates that skill could not only be inherent with the young players but could also be passed onto in a comprehensive academic way.

Under this technique, players progress in a structured manner, pyramidal, from basics of ball mastery to a tactically driven group attack. They would be exposed to the other essentials like Receiving and Passing, Moves (1v1), Speed and Lethal Finishing.

The 1 v. 1 moves learned in the Coerver Method are more genericallly known to soccer players as "Coerver moves." Examples of these include the scissors, double scissors, Rivelino move or step over, Matthews move, Puskás move or v-move, Maradona move or 360, Cruyff move, Scotch move, and Elastico. These moves are used to provide misdirection to get the defender leaning one direction, so that you can dribble past him. Many of these moves can be seen at[1].
