The session, which was part of Coerver’s Play Like the Stars Roadshow, provided two hours of technical soccer development, with professional coaches from Coerver.
“Today’s focus was teaching the kids five introductory steps, collectively known as Ball Mastery,” said former Bafana Bafana star Phil Evans, who is one of the coaches.
“Our goal is to teach children basic skills, so that they can go back to their respective clubs as better players and boost their careers.”
Former Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Clement Mazibuko, who worked alongside Evans in leading the coaching, echoed his counterpart’s sentiments.
“The session today is all about teaching the basics of football; basics are easily ignored by soccer players but, as time goes on in one’s career, you realise how important the basics are.”
In a lighter tone, asked about the chances of returning to the Pretoria side, who were recently crowned PSL champions in a coaching capacity, Mazibuko responded: “I would love to, I have recently acquired my coaching B-licence and it would be really nice returning to Sundowns.”
