“BQE Soccer Partners and the Massapequa Soccer Club are excited to host international grassroots soccer expert Tom Byer, Founder of the T3 Group at the Long Island-NY Grassroots Development Symposium. HBO Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel will be attending and filming the event and will be producing a segment on Tom Byer and his work in promoting grassroots soccer in Asia. “
Tom is a native of Ulster County New York and world renowned as one of the leading clinicians and thinkers in grassroots (non-elite) soccer development. His work is globally endorsed and he has been invited to present his methods to leading international soccer organizations such as UEFA, AFC, DFB, and the Bundesliga and their grassroots programs.
Tom's presentation is a unique, interactive and fascinating insight into skills development in the young player. Advocating the importance of early age development, Tom will engage parents and coaches of all levels with ideas on how to bring the best out of their child. Many see coaching and organized practice as the only solution for development, however Mr. Byer demonstrates the significance of parental education and why 'Football Starts At Home' through his case studies. The presentation will include amazing at-home video of how young children progress when "technical skills are their first interaction with a soccer ball.” The Massapequa, NY Symposium will be Tom’s first Long Island based event. He was also a featured presenter at the United Soccer Coaches Convention in Los Angeles in 2017
