Move By Move
Inspired by kids across the nation who are at home due to shelter-in-place orders, we decided to open the Avila Vault and the imaginations of many who perhaps for a long time have felt something new has been needed.
This dear to our brand series of originals, divulges key bullet points to 12 of our signature moves and combinations. It represents a chance to glimpse, MOVE BY MOVE, the creative world of Avila Methodology. If you are stir-crazy at home, and feeling socially isolated, these mini online workshops may just be the remote remedy your kid needs.

Tired of the same 40 year old Coerver series of moves? Today, Soccer is a game that belongs to America too. It is right to give the new generation new moves to practice, but this time, ones designed to be loved by the players themselves. Think of this series as a facelift of sorts to the plain step-overs and scissors that were introduced here in the 70’s to help American coaches and parents teach their kids soccer.

Stages of Training
Tips for taking an online soccer lesson
- Parents: download the zoom.app so your kids are ready for their first lesson. Please do not let your children create their own accounts.
- The ideal space would be a 10’x10′ grass or flat surface with a wall or net. The wall or net is not required, but it could be helpful so players don’t have to chase the ball too far
- You may use your phone to follow along with the lessons, but a bigger screen like an iPad or a laptop would be better for viewing purposes.
- If training in the backyard/outdoors, use wireless earphones or attach a speaker to the computer to be able to hear the trainers better.
