Experience
Samba Soccer Schools have been in operation since 2009. In that time, we’ve explored different coaching methods and models. Fast forward to 2020 and we now believe we’ve found that magic formula. How do we know? Because we’ve been training our staff on how to apply it and it works! Classes are delivered with confidence and ensure every student leaves with newfound knowledge and a smile!
Your part of a movement
The moment you step foot into an SSS class, the chances are you’ll be somewhat surprised. We don’t like conventional teaching. We prefer entertainment. That’s why our classes are delivered to the sound of samba music, we use a smaller weighted ball and we teach football the Brazilian way. But make no mistake, our first priority is the coaching – everything else fits around it to create a buzzing environment that you just won’t find anywhere else.
We give you a mentor
Coaching is a hands on sport. You’ll learn theoretical principles which will guide your hands on experience. You’ll find some of it a breeze and other times you’ll feel like you’re in the deep end. But don’t worry, we will match you with one of our senior coaches who will mentor you and answer your questions to make the journey as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
