Gangwon FC successfully completed the first schedule of the K League Futures Children's Soccer Class with Gangwon FC from the 23rd to the 14th of last month.
This program was designed to expand the base of soccer and futsal for elementary school students in Gangwon State. Gangwon FC organized the project with the Korea Professional Football Federation, and was sponsored by the National Sports Promotion Agency and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
Gangwon FC recruited participating schools in cooperation with the Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province Office of Education in June. Since then, starting with Buan Elementary School on July 23, four elementary schools in Chuncheon, including Hoban Elementary School, Wooseok Elementary School, and Sindong Elementary School, have operated soccer classes. A total of 25 classes were held during the summer vacation, and more than 490 students participated in the program.
The soccer class was operated by Gangwon FS coaches, including youth academy coach Choi Kyung-jin and head coach Yoo Han-byul, who visited the school in person. Classes ranging from basic skill training to mini-games were filled with enthusiasm for students' participation. The leaders led the atmosphere with explanations and encouragement tailored to the eye level, and the students attended the class with an active attitude.
Gangwon FC plans to further expand opportunities to participate in youth soccer with this program. The second semester program will start from September. From the 27th, additional elementary schools in the province will be recruited and soccer classes will be operated until the end of November. A special event will also be held with the Gangwon FC squad and the futsal team Gangwon FS squad.
Coach Choi Kyung-jin said, `I hope the children felt joy and a sense of accomplishment through soccer,' `We hope that soccer will lead to healthy habits.'
