ACS Doha International School announced an exclusive partnership with Coerver Coaching, a global football coaching programme, that will run in Doha until 2016. The partnership with Coerver Coaching has been popular with the ACS community, and there are now almost 100 students, between 5-16 years of age, participating in the programme. ACS Doha offers coaching for students at every level, from beginner through to advanced, with football enthusiasts attending intense training sessions twice a week.
Throughout the two year partnership, ACS Doha will hold the Coerver Coaching license, with complete access to their curriculum and unique methodologies.
Chris Quinn, ACS Doha’s Athletic Coordinator and one of the coaches of the Coerver Coaching programme, said: “We are delighted to be partnering with Coerver Coaching and Adidas. Coerver’s unique method of skill development is regarded by many as one of the best approaches that can be adopted. One of Coerver’s major core philosophies is to convey the message that “everyone can improve”, educationally this is an important message that we support as a school.”
ACS Doha’s coaches travelled to Switzerland in August for specialised training and participated in further intensive onsite training in Doha at the beginning of this academic school year.
Steven Calland-Scoble, ACS Doha Head of School, said: “ACS Doha is committed to expanding the sporting programmes that we offer as they provide a fantastic learning opportunity for our students. I have no doubt that Coerver Coaching will also help our students to develop self-esteem, improve their confidence and find another reason to enjoy the ACS Doha experience.”
ACS Doha is the first school in Qatar to partner with Coerver Coaching and there are plans to open a Coerver Centre of Excellence in Doha in the near future. ACS Doha and Coerver Coaching are also looking to roll out the programme across the country, so that children of all ages and abilities can benefit from being active, engaging with their peers and further developing their football skills.
