ALCANTARA TEAM TAKES ITS FIRST STEP THIS SEASON

Next week starts the first edition of the Alcantara Team , our own social action program that, in a generic way, has as its main purpose to train competent and thoughtful people for life through football. To these children and adolescents We want to provide them with tools and resources in a learning process in which the game, fun and values of soccer are mixed with a great result.

How will we do it? The key is to provide specific and competent training to the coaches to integrate these life skills into training sessions, to make football act as an educational medium for both sports and people.

If we convince their coaches of their strength and leadership and give them the necessary pedagogical knowledge, the players will make that leap we hope for. That is why the first step that we are going to take next week in the training session for trainers is so important. Alcantara Team that we deploy in the field of Ciutat Vella Sports Association .

The AE Ciutat Vella takes care that everyone can play sports as an after-school practice at least two days a week and participate in tournaments that the City Council organizes to complete that sporting experience that educates our young people so much.

With the coaches of this organization we are going to meet to open the training sessions to new training experiences. They will learn games, trainings and activities that, without altering the basic principle of any soccer team: training and playing, will not only enliven the work, but will also incorporate reflective play to learn that each personal decision affects not only oneself but the rest. of the team. That is one of the skills that are worked on and that are of three types:

Interpersonal skills that is to say, social, in relation to other people.
