His Philosophy of how the game should be played is this: Only a TECNICALLY SKILLED player can play a short passing, possession oriented game. Thus, technical training is the at the center of eveything. Playing the game and learning the nuances and subleties of creating a winning team is the second step in learning to play. Coach Weiss' methods have produced hundreds of players who have gone on to play at prestigeous clubs, high schools, universities, professional and national teams.
