On October 31 in Kharkiv, they held a joint seminar for football coaches for kids, organized by Shakhtar Donetsk and Feyenoord Rotterdam
25 coaches for kids participated in the training programme, including 15 mentors of the Come On, Let’s Play project!, being implemented by FC Shakhtar in 7 Ukrainian cities. All of them came to Kharkiv purposefully to meet their Dutch counterparts.
Maksym Maksymenko, administrator of the Come On, Let’s Play project! in Donetsk:
- Very useful and interesting meeting. I got a lot of good information, which will help to build up and vary a workout session even better. Such an exchange of experience with colleagues from different countries helps us to develop and take the work with kids to the European level.
Pavlo Tolstoy, administrator of the Come On, Let’s Play project! in Lviv:
- This is not the first time Shakhtar have invited us to participate in interesting events. We learned the Dutch philosophy of working with children, their methods and approaches. Everyone wants to progress, therefore such meetings always give new knowledge and experience.
The representatives of the Rotterdam club and specialists of the international football development programme EFDN told about the methods of training young players, features of conducting competitions for kids and emphasized the important social significance of grassroots football.
Hubert Rovers, CEO European Football for Development Network:
- We believe that this is a valuable experience for young coaches, being important for every kid, whom they will be training. It's great that Shakhtar pay so much attention to this issue and care about young sportsmen. Today we have conducted many interesting activities both on the field and during lectures. I am sure that this is very useful, and I hope that we will have more and more such meetings.
The practical part of the seminar consisted of two training sessions on football fields, with 100 children participating. Upon their completion, every kid received presents from Shakhtar and Feyenoord clubs.
- It was interesting and unusual, - Pasha Mariianchuk shares his impressions. – They showed us how to warm up correctly, there were many new exercises. We have not done this before, I really liked it.
In addition, the Dutch side brought gifts for internally displaced kids from Donbas: the Rotterdam inhabitants had been collecting warm clothes and other things during the previous month to hand them over to Ukraine together with their team. In response, the Donetsk club invited the guests for tomorrow's match Shakhtar vs Feyenoord and handed them tickets for the OSC Metalist stands.
