TRAIN AND PLAY THE UNITED WAY The first-ever India-based Manchester United Soccer School, which was set up last November, has started functioning inside Cooperge football ground here from January 30 and the boys got to train on Wednesday with two legends of the famous Premier League Club. Top MU players of yester years, Denis Irwin and Quinton Fortune, took part in a training session with the children of the club's Mumbai-based school on the artificial turf set up at the Cooperage ground by world football governing bod. Manchester United Soccer Schools will be delivering a series of year-round skills development courses for the first time in Mumbai starting in January 2012. The programs offer young players a great opportunity to experience how it feels to train like a Manchester United player. The age-appropriate programs will take place over five weeks at a time, with players attending two sessions each week. One session will focus on practicing the technical skills needed to play the United way, with the second session of the week providing players the chance to test their skills in a series of games. All players attending the programs, regardless of ability, will be able to take part in a series of fun and challenging coaching sessions following the latest MUSS curriculum. These activities, based on principles and methods employed by the famous Manchester United Academy, will focus on a variety of different technical areas, such as dribbling, short passing, turning and finishing, and will provide players with the tools and confidence to improve their own game. FIFA. Head coach of the MUSS in Mumbai, Chris O'Brien, told a media conference that the school would train the children in exactly the same way as MU Academy does in its home base in the UK. Man Utd start their football school in Mumbai "The training these kids would receive will be identical to what children undergo in the Manchester United Academy. It will be a five-day in a week session and we have started with the dribbling module first (lasting five weeks). It will be a positive learning experience," he informed. "Importance will also be given to physical fitness and diet. There would also be (theory) classes. Education is as important as practical sessions," he added. The five-week module training at the school, for which MU has joined hands with the state football body – Western Indian Football Association, costs Rs 12,600 each, it was learnt. Three hundred children have enrolled for the first module. "We will identify 100 talented children (who cannot afford the fees otherwise) for year-long training," said WIFA CEO Henry Menezes on the sidelines of the conference.
