A SUMMER TO REMEMBER WITH MANCHESTER UNITED SOCCER SCHOOLS In addition to helping your child build foundational football skills, Manchester United Schools offers the opportunity for building communication, discipline, fair play, attitude, the development of behaviour, and enthusiasm. You will be giving your child a life long gift, while they are learning also that a fit and healthy lifestyle builds a good future.

Emma Savage, head of Manchester United Soccer Schools said, “Our courses here at Manchester United Soccer Schools are gaining momentum in popularity yearly, simply because we address more issues than just football training. Of course we improve chiefly football skills, but we also instil confidence, and refine social strategies.”

“Kids return to us each year because we impart to them the love of the game, the deep respect for football. Since we were formed in 1999 we have doing exactly this.”

For only £69.95 you can sign up for the Player Development Course, which is a two-day training. All of our coaches must be qualified by the UEFA and they take advantage of the latest equipment and a player’s journal in order to achieve excellence in the player. The coach monitors the process closely and adjusts the program.

The Residential Course can be had for £499.95 or £599.95. This is a time your child will cherish his whole lifetime. These courses also have coaches qualified with the UEFA, modern equipment for training, and the player’s journal. However, they also add the Nike Training Kit and access to the backstage of the Old Trafford closing ceremonies.

by

A challenge on Rooney by an opposition player is at 20/1, which Fergie thought should have been the case Wednesday night at Stamford Bridge. Ferguson’s statements after United’s defeat of Chelsea midweek are only examples of ways he is failing to win over the men in the middle. Boylesports.com lays 66/1 he is kick back to the stands anytime during the match.

Leon Blanche, Head of Public Relations at Boylesports.com, said, “Given the referees’ large role in the games, and considering Alex Ferguson’s statements over the past week regarding officials, there will be a lot of pressure on Phil Dowd Sunday.”

“This is a referee who has only one above him with the most number of cards per game in the country, and he’s being given responsibility over something that is full of temper tantrums. There will be plenty for him to say at full time about it.

Africa pushes for World Cup places

by

Africa pushes for World Cup places Fifa the football world’s governing body is meeting to determine for the World Cup 2014 how many places each continent will receive. In the 2010 tournament Africa received six selection since South Africa were the hosts, but Africa most likely will be reduced to only five selections, due to their poor showing in the 2010 Cup and could be lower even more because of the amount of pressure being applied from areas that want more representation.

What also cause an impact at the meetings is the expected political fight between present Fifa President Sepp Blatter and likely challenger Mohamed Bin Hammam. Bin Hammam wants more presence from his Asian Confederation presently their representation is four plus a playoff berth.

The North and Central American and Caribbean region (Conccaf) want to add to their current three places plus a playoff berth and because Brazil is hosting there will probably be another spot given to South America.

Following two-day meetings in Zurich, Fifa will hold a news conference and announce their decisions on Thursday they will also announce that the 2015 Women’s World Cup hosts will be Canada. Also in limbo is who will host the U17 World Cup for 2013 and the women’s U17 for 2014.

Steven Gerrard’s school abandons real football

by

Steven Gerrard’s school abandons real football Steven Gerrard, captain of Liverpool and England, learned to play football in the school playground, but proper footballs have been banned so the chances of children at Malvern primary of Huyton following in his footsteps have taken a turn for the worse.

The only balls not considered to be a health hazard by the school are made of sponge those with synthetic leather are too dangerous according to Julie Peach, head teacher of the school, saying health and safety regulations mean only sponge balls can be used for a kick about all others are banned before classed in the morning and during playtime and school defended their policy saying a duty to protect kids of all ages was their responsibility.

Tory MP, David Davies said if every school has the same attitude England’s football team would find it difficult to compete with the Blue Square Premier League let alone on the world stage and this is the last thing we need after an awful performance in South Africa adding that getting whacked in the face and scrapping your knee on the playground is part of growing up and playing with a sponge ball, what is the world coming to and if I had a child at this school I would be fit to be tied.

We cannot raise children to become cocooned cotton buds, even though we live in a litigation society you cannot tell me a proper ball was not used by Steven Gerrard when he played football in the playground and he even fell over once or twice, I bet.

Fans asked to name Olympic football

Fans asked to name Olympic football Occasionally customers are asked to assist in creating new products for brands. Normally they might help make commercials, the designs of either packaging or clothing, or even flavours. However, the names are kept close to the creative team for the brand.

Now, however, football lovers have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to give the name to the London 2012 official Olympic matchball, thanks to Adidas of UK. This is a huge risk for Adidas, since the ball will go down in history connected with the Olympic Games.

Adidas, as the official sportswear provider for the Olympic Games, hosted in London, designed the ball, but is will not be made public until Spring 2012. The renaming of the ball is open to UK residents over 13. They should give their version of the name at the page for the contest on Adidas’ website. The prize is a pair of tickets to the UEFA 2011 Wembley Championship League Finals, in addition to the ball with the signature of the winner. The winner will also receive a request to be part of the launch of the ball.

You may make your suggestions for the ball’s name until 28 February. The winner will receive an email letting them know of their win by the end of April this year.
