Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort, Morocco has announced the launch of its Football Academy, which offers courses throughout the summer for children aged six to 16 years.

Designed for the entire summer to develop and nurture young football players, the Football Academy is being run by certified professional football coaches and it follows the same training methods used by professional teams. It has many football pitches for participants to benefit from an outstanding training programme and learn the best techniques and football tricks. Starting immediately, the coaching sessions are challenging with goal shoots, dribbling and football matches.

“It is our pleasure to launch the Football Academy. All our coaches possess professional qualification which offers kids a fantastic way to learn a new skill whilst on a luxury holiday. The children are split into age groups allowing for new friendships and learning skills such as, being a team player,” said Khadija El Idrissi, director of Communication and Public Relations at Mazagan Beach and Golf Resort.

“Opening the Football Academy is a huge commitment. It demonstrates our confidence in our excellent services, as well as our optimism about the footballing talent we expect to find here,” added El Idrissi.

Morocco has been rapidly building its presence in Africa in varied sports and aims to have as many children and adults as possible playing football and other sports.

“The launch of the Football Academy at Mazagan reinforces our message to welcome young kids, adding variety to the holiday as well as learning a skill. We are especially passionate about football here in Morocco, as it is the national sport and are confident that the young players will make Morocco proud someday,” said El Idrissi.

The course and kit at the Football Academy includes a shirt with name, short, socks and sports bag. Running till August 31, the special summer package has been designed to establish the resort as the ideal destination for young football prodigies.

“It is our passion and commitment at the academy to develop the stars of tomorrow. Our football programme will thereby offer a comprehensive, holistic junior programme - for grass roots levels and develop stars performers for tomorrow,” El Idrissi said. - TradeArabia News Service
