2. Internship - Junior Coaching
Background:
The Club's team of English FA-qualified coaching staff offer top-quality soccer coaching courses for children from ages 4 to 18 (and adults too!) at various venues in Beijing. Courses cater for students of all ability levels stressing skill development in a fun environment, as well as other benefits from exercise and teamwork, to sportsmanship and discipline.
At present the bulk of programmes are staged at ten international schools across Beijing with lessons taking place after school and at weekends during term time, and every day during holidays. In addition to the continued development of courses aimed at international students, the club is now seeking to establish courses targeting local (Chinese) children.
Besides the above-mentioned benefits, the club believes that providing a relaxed environment with a native English-language speaker will appeal to education-conscious Chinese parents. For adults, the club recently launched weekday evening sessions for women which were well attended by both international and local ladies and plans to offer similar services for men in 2007.
