8 Categories of Dribbling Moves
The CGSA overall program is based on these 8 different dribbling categories. It is without recipe written in some book or sped up on a You Tube video with no exact purpose or method to teaching the proper timing of a great dribbler, but it is presented in a very extensive, progressive, and demanding system of technical football education, that cannot be mistaken for any other program in the world.
CGSA in 1991 created a system of teaching and developing players skills based on mimicking the technical skills of the Worlds Top players. Originally, CGSA began by owner and founder, Clint Greenwood while being on holiday in So Cal. conducted small group clinics for some older club players and teach them the dribbling skills CG was known for. With each practice Greenwood put into his sessions different innovative ways of teaching the moves that have been performed in games by CG. Many years later the teaching evolved into innovative education how, when, where, and why dribbling moves were important to the growth of high level Footballers, and most importantly introduce the ball to the player in a more intimate way and start the relationship of elite Footballer and the Football. Dribbling moves serve as CGSA's Blueprint and every lesson plan includes this skill and through The Greenwood Method teaches it in a special and purposeful way. The Greenwood Method created a way of introducing these various moves in 8 different categories and each category contains the tactical reasoning behind each move and when it can be utilized positively in a game. Director, Clint Greenwood is a genius when it comes to teaching dribbling moves and creates a unique system of training through a progressive and intense environment always staying within reality of a game and not going off course teaching nonsense moves that cannot be used at all in a proper setting. An excellent training method always teaching the fine technical details (Timing) often overlooked at other camp programs, or Academy's across the world. There are 3 important steps to performing a dribbling move successfully.

The Ideology Behind CGSA
The inspiration to my creation of a Soccer School is well documented, as well as the success in developing some of the America's best talent both on the male and also the female side internationally. What hasn't been told is how it transpired into a teaching method and evolved to a system innovative at heart, but authentic in value. CGSA takes every aspect of teaching by analyzing each component of the topic being taught in a way that not only pushes each and every student to it's maximum potential but is presented in a progressive step by step process without sacrificing the demands that are essential in becoming an Elite Athlete.
Look at the dribbling topics and how each category or name has a counter to the other. If defenders know you like to go in this direction, CGSA has categorized these dribbles in a fashion to counter any defenders challenge. The Greenwood Method is put together for a life changing. educational experience for students who truly take it into their hearts prevail and become the Best Version of Themselves.
CGSA wishes to thank all the participants of Team Programs, Individual Lessons, Camps, Clinics, Daily Continuum Classes, Coaching Education, and just fans. We love you and hope you love Football.
