Registration is now open for the new Manchester United Soccer Schools (MUSS) summer programme in Abu Dhabi which will offer UAE children the ideal school holiday activity in the one-of-a-kind indoor air conditioned football facility at the Dome@Rawdhat.
The four one-week intensive courses will start on 24th June and run from Sunday to Wednesday with each day themed around a different technical area of the game. Children aged seven to 16 will learn football skills and techniques the United way receiving more than 12 hours of on-field coaching.
“The indoor summer courses last year were a great success,” said Andy Dixon, head coach at Manchester United Soccer Schools in Abu Dhabi. “The children loved coming to the Dome, escaping the heat and having the opportunity to play football with their friends. It’s ideal that we can conduct summer courses in our indoor facility and provide the opportunity for the children to continue their development with Manchester United Soccer Schools all year round.”
In signature MUSS style, every coaching session will use the current crop of Manchester United first team players as the inspiration and model examples from which the children can learn and develop themselves both on and off the pitch.
The first day of the course will focus on mastering short passing and receiving skills while day two will teach dribbling skills and on day three the children will learn to finish the United way.
The four-day course will culminate in an exciting ‘Play the United Way’ tournament where the player’s will be able to put their newly honed skills to the test in a series of matches. Due to the great response received last summer, one week, from 1st-4th July, will again be dedicated to learning goalkeeping skills, in which coaches from Manchester will fly to Abu Dhabi specifically to train and teach the children.
