JOÜK is early development, before team competition.
Like learning to read or playing an instrument, learning soccer happens step by step. We teach coordination and ball mastery first, the building blocks kids need before they compete on teams.
We train in small groups with highly-experienced coaches.
Every child gets plenty of time with a ball. Through skills practice, coordination and agility work, and fun games, JOÜK gives young players a running start for playing this beautiful game.
JOÜK adds futsal to develop agile youth players.
