Austasia International Sports and Leisure Complex in partnership with
Action Sports will launch a Soccer Academy on January 21 from 9am to
12noon, at the Austasia International Sports Complex in Thalawathugoda.
Former National Coach Balendra Anthony will take on the role of
Technical Director of the Academy and the coaching responsibilities.
A free workshop will be undertaken to allow the opportunity for
potential students and parents to experience the environment that
training will be undertaken and also to have direct discussions with the
coaching team and organizers about the training models and other
technical and administrative plans.
The Academy will primarily focus on Kids between age groups nine to
thirteen years with a view of developing and enhancing their core
skills, techniques and discipline. According to the organizers, it is
also one of the core objectives of Austasia, Action Sports and the
Coaching Team to ensure that 'fully rounded individuals' are developed
and groomed with a view of facing society in a professional and
disciplined manner.
Individual progress reports will be maintained of all enlisted
academy students with regular performance review meetings expected to be
undertaken with their respective parents or guardians. Students joining
the academy will be privileged to experience the game of indoor soccer (Futsal)
in only
'International Indoor Arena' in Sri Lanka and thus increase their
opportunities to pursuing additional avenues of Indoor Futsal.
The Indoor Arena will also mean there are no interruptions to
training or coaching sessions thus allowing a continuous process of
development as planned. Furthermore the environment, which is of
International Standards will allow for a certainly positive atmosphere
for both Students and parents who accompany their children for training.
All applications will be subject to an interview and a pre-screening
process to ensure that the expectations of the students, parents and
coaching staff are aligned and thereby ensuring effective progress
during coaching sessions.
