The focus will be on skills from all over the world when
the Manchester City FC School of Football returns to Abu Dhabi in 2013.
During
the winter break the club held its annual summit in Manchester of the global
network of youth coaches.
Simon
Hewitt, Head Coach at School of Football, has now returned to the UAE with an
updated curriculum and a series of new sessions that will help boys and girls
learn the latest ball tricks and skills.
He
has also brought with him a specialist skills coach from Manchester City’s
youth academy to join the team based in Abu Dhabi.
There
are now four full-time coaches working at the School of Football who have been
with Manchester City for a total of 27 years and all have experience of working
with the best young players at the club.
“Manchester
City is coaching youngsters all over the world now and it was fascinating to
hear what everyone is doing,” said Simon.
“There
is a really big interest in the School of Football in Abu Dhabi and the huge
response we have had since opening.
“We
believe a focus on developing new skills will bring the sessions to life even
more and the children are going to love learning all sorts of new tricks.
“By
adding a specialist skills coach we make the team even stronger and as always
the big emphasis will be on having as much fun as possible.”
The
Manchester City FC School of Football is open to everyone aged between the ages
of five and 18. It starts this Sunday, January 13, on the pitches at Zayed
Sports City.
The
sessions last for 10 weeks throughout the week with organised games every
Saturday for all pupils who also all receive a full Manchester City replica
kit.
