Commercial Bank: Kids play the Manchester United way at special soccer school

Doha, Qatar: Commercial Bank, one of the leading full service banks in Qatar, has offered over 150 kids the opportunity to attend a special Manchester United-run soccer school in Doha last week. The once in a lifetime experience of being trained by top Manchester United coaches who flew in from the United Kingdom were won by the kids’ parents applying for and using Commercial Bank Manchester United Credit Cards.

 

Taking place over the course of five days, kids aged 7 to 16 took part in a variety of fun and challenging coaching sessions designed for young players of all abilities delivered by professional Manchester United coaches. The kids practiced technical techniques related to Manchester United First Team players, developed the confidence to express their ability in games and gained an understanding of how to learn to play the United way.

 

Mental training is an important part of Manchester United Soccer Schools to improve performance both on and off the field. The Manchester United Soccer Schools coaches encouraged the kids to work hard, never give up and believe in themselves, reflecting core traits of successful Manchester United teams.

 

Commercial Bank CEO, Mr Abdulla Saleh Al Raisi said: “Under the leadership of Manchester United coaches, the kids who participated in the soccer school had the unique opportunity to learn and improve their playing skills from trained instructors. The benefits of participation in sport, especially beginning at a young age, can’t be underestimated, because kids carry the health and social benefits with them well into their adult lives.”

 

He added, “The Manchester United Soccer Schools are one of a number of priceless experiences to be won with Commercial Bank Manchester United Credit Cards. We are delighted the Manchester United Soccer Schools coaches have travelled from the United Kingdom, allowing our customers and children to get closer to their favourite football club in a fun activity for kids offered for the first time here in Doha.”

 

Head of Manchester United Soccer Schools, Edoardo Abis said: “We are delighted to make the trip to Qatar, bringing the Manchester United Soccer Schools experience to the children of Doha. We pride ourselves on delivering an authentic experience which mirrors the training practices employed by the Manchester United First Team and Academy.  Our coaches teach the children the fundamental techniques and skills in a fun and exciting way. Whatever their level, they will help the players to develop the courage and confidence to express their ability”.
