Starting from November 1, FC Shakhtar’s Come On, Let’s Play! projecthas been running in Kurakhove, Donetsk Oblast with the assistance of DTEK and the town authorities
- This project is socially significant, because we try to develop football intensively in our town, - said the deputy mayor of Kurakhove Roman Romanets. - Over the past two years, we have got two artificial five-a-side pitches, we are planning to reconstruct the stadium and prepare a large field with synthetic or natural grass. Support is very important to us, and we hope to make a big step forward thanks to the Come On, Let’s Play! project.
Currently, 60 children (three groups of 20 people) play football under supervision of two volunteer coaches and a coach-administrator absolutely free of charge. Each of them received training from Shakhtar Academy mentors. FC Shakhtar provides the young athletes with everything they need for exercising: balls, bibs, cones and other things.
- After the training sessions and workshops for our coaches, the kids train based on the new up-to-date standards, working with the ball in a more efficient way, - continued Roman Romanets. - I sometimes attend training sessions and see how much interested the guys get. We are happy with our co-operation with Shakhtar and are confident in producing good results.
