German Football Team Camped With SSFL Footballers in Delhi
DFB's German Student National Football Team begins its India tour with
an Orientation Camp with SSFL footballers
STAIRS roped in legendary football coach Tarun Roy to spearhead the
camp
STAIRS also brought on board Grow Fit Grow Strong to conduct Sports
Science Workshop and check agility of players
The camp was spearheaded by legendary Football coach Tarun Roy, who
madeSSFL footballers familiar with various professional tactics including nitty-
gritty of fast-pace game and special dribbling, turning, shooting and square
passing techniques. Roy who once played for India has over 20 years of
experience in coaching, has been a selector of Indian Team andis also a head
coach of Indian Senior Women's Team.
I believe right mentoring and professional coaching at adolescent age can
help in nurturing the talent that can potentially bring laurels to the country. I
am really happy to be associated with STAIRS as they are doing incredible
work for the development of football at the grassroots. The platform that SSFL
has given to the children is the much needed at this time. While it is an
opportunity for youngster to showcase their talent, which was not easily
available in our times, it also promises to give India its future team, said Taurn
Roy.
With an aim to ensure that the scientific approach is added to physical fitness
element at the grassroots sports, we have associated with Grow Fit Strong. The
experts from the organization ensured that the budding footballers are aware
about prevention of serious injuries and ways to maintain the highest levels of
fitness for best performance.
At the camp Grow Fit Strong conducted a science workshop wherein the team
of experts did an agility test and body composition analysis of SSFL
footballers and also had a session with them on sports injuries and ways to
prevent them.
After their interaction with SSFL players in Delhi, the German Students
national team will visit Aizawl, Kolkata and Bengaluru where theywill be
playing friendly matches against Mizoram XI in Aizawland against Ozone FC in
Bengaluru.
The tour to India is supported by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs and is
being organized by the German Football Association (DFB) with support and
clearance of All India Football Federation, who are the custodians of football in
India.
