Football (sports block 1)
We focus on interaction and team play. Every week we take up special themes that will develop you as a person and a football player. We invite you into a world of tactics, communication, competition etc.
In football class we work with different playing styles and try out different roles and positions in the game. You will develop both technical, tactical and physical skills in different ways.
The football coaches at Vejle Sports School are all very advanced football players who love the game. You can combine football (block 1) with football (block 2) or futsal if you want to play football most of your time. Then you will practice more than 10 hours a week.

The best game in the world! I have played futsal in Buenos Aires and futevolei at Ipanema Beach in Rio. My experiences confirm to me that football is a universal language. I am already dreaming of the feints and dribbles I will trick you with. I have been playing football in the best league in Denmark and now I am instructing future coaches at the C-level of DBU the Danish Football Association.
Training needs to be fun. I have spent innumerable hours practising my touches. I have written a book about ball tricks. A good training session is when you touch the ball a lot and feel your improvement. Or when you achieve a better understanding of the tactical elements of the games. To me, the most important parts of football is the joy of the game and keeping the good spirits.
The ball is the world's best toy. To me, it is even more fun, when we all take it serious and when we get in to the drama of the game. We get around physical contact, sweat, blood, tears, joy, and euphoria. We fight for our common goal and for each other. I get a kick every time the students want to practise and repeat till they make it happen.
Football remains to be very popular in Denmark. To me, football is a free space and the game will always be close to my heart. At our school we enjoy football facilities on our multicourt, our indoor gym, our artificial turf as well as our natural grass field. Optimum conditions for carrying out our passion for football.
