Brazilian Soccer Schools was founded in the UK in 1996, by Simon Clifford and has operated in Australia since 2006. Simon Clifford is one of the world’s most renowned visionaries, when it comes to the development of young Footballers. This is captured by the words of Sir Clive Woodward, the British Olympic Association’s Director of Elite Performance;

“I’ve met many great people in sport but the main one who stands out as truly inspirational is, Simon Clifford. Simon Clifford is quite simply the best one on one coach that I have seen at work in any sport, in any country of the world. BSS illustrate that the dreams of any child, combined with daily practice and a unique devotion to the ball, can produce players with previously unseen levels of technical and physical ability.”

To spread his methods and philosophy Simon Clifford found it necessary to franchise his business and it has taken the football coaching world by storm.
There are now over 1000 franchises around the world, with 13 in Australia and growing quickly.

Did you know Wayne Rooney and Michael Owen (Manchester United) participated in BSS sessions back in 1998?
The Great, Carlos Alberto (Brazilian Captain, 1970 FIFA World Cup, and member of The World Team of the 20th Century) is a real fan of BSS,
"I cannot believe what I see with Brazilian Soccer Schools, it is amazing, it is something completely different and very special. It will have so many benefits for football and for kids in general. Socially, physically and technically I can see this, Brazilian Soccer Schools having such a positive influence for future generations across the world."
BSS draws on the game of Futebol de Salão, the traditional Brazilian Small Sided game to develop the individual technique and skills of the player. The undisputed greatest player of all time, Pele, contributes Futebol de Salão for giving him such great skills,
“I developed my skills playing Futebol de Salão in my home town of Bauru.”
I explained to Simon that the true and total beauty of football is only seen in the ingenuity, inventiveness, instinct and skill of the players, both individually and as a team. Pele
