Clinic equips football stars of tomorrow
Coerver Coaching SA and Off the Wall Powerball, held free soccer coaching trial sessions for children aged between six and 18 at the East Rand Italian Club on Saturday, May 17.
The session, which was part of Coerver’s Play Like the Stars Roadshow, provided two hours of technical soccer development with professional coaches from Coerver.
“Today’s focus was teaching the kids five introductory steps collectively known as ball mastery,” said former Bafana Bafana star, Phil Evans, who’s one of the coaches.
“Our goal is to teach kids basic skills so they’re can go back to their respective clubs as better players and boost their careers, and we’re looking to cover more areas in and around Jo’burg.”
Former Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder, Clement Mazibuko, who worked alongside Evans in leading the coaching, echoed his counterpart’s sentiments.
“The session today is all about teaching the basics of football; basics are easily ignored by soccer players but as time goes on in one’s career, you realise how important the basics are.”
In a lighter tone, asked about the chances of returning to the Pretoria side, who were recently crowned PSL champions, in a coaching capacity, Mazibuko responded: “I would love to, I’ve recently acquired my coaching B-license and it would be really nice returning to Sundowns.”
