SOCCER by de Graef / CLEAT'S Soccer was originally started in 1988 as Advanced Soccer Camps by both Hans and Johnn de Graef. After years of directing other camps and instructing CYSA coaches licensing courses, the de Graef's decided to bring their expertise straight to the players. Their widely sought after teaching/coaching styles and enthusiasm has been the catalyst for their success.
In 2002 the name was changed to CLEAT'S Soccer. With its metaphoric meaning, CLEAT'S has been able to create more appeal in soccer communities. CLEAT'S Soccer has successfully now been all over the United States. With the popularity of our programs CLEAT'S now offers year around training, as well as goalkeeper specific Academy's and Camps.
In August of 2008 we added SOCCER by de Graef to the Goalkeeping portion of the company due to the fact that the de Graef name is know for the best Keeper training in the west.

New for 2009
We have some exciting new happenings this coming year! First because so many people know our name better than the CLEATS SOCCER name we have added the new SOCCER by de Graef portion of the company. What this has done is added more backing and support to the Goalkeeper school portion of the company. Even though we pride ourselves with our total soccer knowledge, Goalkeepers are once again being put to the side and it is time to reconstitute the proper keeper experience for youth keepers of all ages.
With that said here are some exciting new additions to the programs this year as well as what is happening next:
2009 Brings the SOCCER by de Graef full Goalkeeper School. This program will have the Goalkeepers doing much more than just training. The keepers will have a full week for just the keepers. This GK Academy will have on field training, class room work in psychology of a keeper, video analysis and of course the famed ball gun. Space will be limited for this program due to the fact we want as much one on one learning as possible. The first SOCCER by de Graef Goalkeeper School will be held in Elk Grove, CA at the end of June.
2009 Will also bring the new and improved CLEATS SOCCER Field player Striker Academy. This Program will include refining the players soccer skills and finishing everything covered with attempts on goal. Each and every player finds themselves in front of the goal from any position, now what do they need to do. This Program will run along side of the new and improved Goalkeeper academy from Soccer by de Graef and mix from time to time to get quality shooting vs. quality shot stopping.
