Simple Soccer was created by professional English soccer player and coach Dean Jacobs. Founded in 2004, Simple Soccer has quickly become recognized as the leader in Youth Soccer instruction and training programs with its award-winning line of instructional DVDs. Dean Jacobs has worked with professoinal and youth soccer teams in England and America.

      Working with youth soccer regions across America, Dean Jacobs discovered a lack of quality visual soccer training tools. Many youth soccer players are not given the proper skills, techniques and training; thus limiting their growth as both a person and an athlete. Many coaches and parents of youth soccer players lack important information required to manage their players. From these needs, Simple Soccer was born.

      Simple Soccer is specifically designed for the youth soccer player, parent, and coach. The S.I.M.P.L.E. Soccer program is based upon these core philosophies:

• Safe - Safety should always be our #1 priority.
• Involved - Players should be involved in all games and drills at all times with no elimination.
• Magical - Produce a magical world of endless possibilities so the children can grow physically, socially, and mentally.
• Planned and Prepared - Always be prepared for your sessions with a plan, correct equipment, and good time management.
• Learning and Laughing - Laughing is infections, kids learn best when they feel relaxed in a non-stressful environment.
• Enthusiastic and Encouraging - Always stay positive, friendly, and motivating. At all times we aim to be enthusiastic about what we do. The environment in which we create should be uplifting, inspiring. and encouraging.

      Based upon the S.I.M.P.L.E. Soccer philosphies, Dean Jacobs has produced these invaluable youth soccer training DVDs:
