Saras and sport: training seminar at the Cagliari Football Academy

The youth project sponsored by the Saras Group with Cagliari Calcio, to promote youth football in Sardinia and build ties with the territory, has seen the participation of more than 120 coaches in the Cagliari Football Academy seminar.

The coaches came to the sports centre in Assemini from all over Sardinia, representing over 40 clubs affiliated to the Cagliari Club. The purpose of the seminar is to train the coaches who will support the mental and physical development of the young players – aged between 6 and 12 – of the Cagliari Football Academy. The seminar was opened by the greetings of the directors of the Football Academy, followed by a speech by the head of the youth sector, Oscar Erriu, who outlined the philosophy, identity and guidelines of the club’s section for youngsters. Next, the senior coach described in detail the training methods for children at the football school, showing a typical session.

After the presentations, the seminar moved to the field, where the coaches of the affiliated clubs were able to witness a typical training session with the under-13 team of the red&blue club. Another initiative supporting the development of very young players, sponsored by Saras together with the Cagliari Football Academy.
