MISSION

We felt a glaring gap had emerged and a sustainable, grass-roots development program was needed to maximize the natural skill of youngsters in South Africa. 

We at WBFA believe that South African soccer players lack the basic skills to succeed in professional football. This is why most South African players do not make it in Europe. Our goal is to eradicate this problem and equip these young boys(girls) with the  right skills. 

In order for youth soccer players to develop quickly, three key ingredients are required:

  • PASSION – This could come from parents, a role model, or even a film that ignites a desire to work hard at the game. We certainly help to bring out and develop our players’ passion for the game.
  • PRACTICE – Deliberate and meaningful practice is absolutely vital for the development of any youth Soccer player. Players need to be challenged in every single practice session and one of the best ways to do this is via specific small-sided games / pressurized possession situations. We focus very heavily on these aspects in all our team training sessions.
  • COACHING – Top-quality coaching is perhaps the most important ingredient of all. Our coaches possess many of the essential characteristics required to develop young soccer players; they are inspiring and set high standards, and organizational practices that provide situations where players are regularly challenged to think for themselves and solve problems. They demonstrate skills and techniques with professional-level precision to give players a visual guide, and they encourage and welcome risk-taking and mistakes; two key elements needed for improvement and development. When choosing a club and coach, it is worth remembering that qualifications and badges mean very little without the ability to deliver. And this is where our coaches excel – exceptional delivery.

Every aspect of our philosophy is geared toward player improvement. We don’t look at opponents as enemies, for example. This is youth soccer. We look at opponents as a way to help us develop (and hopefully we help them). Our opponents are another cog in the wheel of learning and development.
