Ganesport held Valentine’s coaching session on Sunday (14/02/2016).

As the valentine’s day occurred, Galih Andhika was acting as Head Coach to lead the session in bright sunny morning in Rawa Semut, Bekasi, West Java.

Galih is a part-time futsal and football coach with significant experience in adult coaching. He lives in Tangerang and gave us voluntary work to support Ganesport and RSC Football.

One method from Galih is to deliver fun and enjoying session to the kids, as he stated: “Teaching football for kids is different. They do not like boring session, they always want to hold the ball as much as they can.”

Indeed, when delivering football session to kids, just make sure they love our session otherwise they won’t come back!

“My method is about delivering game, game, and game. They love games. In every purpose we want make, we should always make it in a game, let the game teaches them,” said Galih.

The session was successfully held without rains –it has been heavy rains recently–, in fact they were sweating a lot while we took two hours session started from 8 AM.

RSC Football is one of Ganesport projects, delivered as an action to support the community through football. We do need more volunteers who have skills in Video Journalism and live in Greater Jakarta area. Please give a mail to info@ganesport.org if you are interested.

RSC Football was given football session by Ganesport on Sunday morning (7/2/2016).

Irman Jayawardhana was in charged as Head Coach on Sunday session for U15 RSC Football, along with two other Assistant Coaches. The session was running for two hours –commenced on 8 AM in Bekasi.

Irman, who came along the way from Lebak Bulus in which 10 kilometers away from Bekasi, stated that he is very happy with the eagerness and passion from the kids.

“That’s why I am always happy to deliver football coaching to children, they are very passionate about everything, and they really want to learn,” said Irman.

The youngest kid was Riandi –9 years old–, is sitting in 5th grade elementary school and having that spirit to learn football.

“I use to train other football teams, but for this, is different. We came to this place with intention to help and I want it regularly as my action for the community,” Irman continued.

Other coaches —Yuan Achda Arbinery and Abimanyu Bimantoro–, was assisting Irman delivering session which was deemed ‘different’ by the kids. They (kids) were responding that the whole training method was unique when the coaches did last debrief.

Yuan, who came along the way from Depok, stated: “This has been my concern in all my life. Grassroot football is my concern. Thanks to Ganesport for realising this idea.”

All the coaches were doing voluntary works as an action to support the society.

About 22 young footballers was trained in a marginal football community, called Rawa Semut Community (RSC) Football on 1 January 2016.

The first project of Ganesport in the New Year of 2016, RSC Football project was executed in part of our program Ganesport 2034 Vision and Kick The Ball.

RSC Football had had no coaches before, and Ganesport intends to help them. The session was led by Amal Ganesha and Irman Jayawardhana as the coaches, who both hold the coaching licence from The FA England.

It took two hours of the session in which it is conducted on the pitch around Rawa Semut, Bekasi. The participants were sweating a lot, while the coaches were happy to deliver free quality football coaching.

Irman, who was coming along the way from Ciputat, stated: “It is pleasure to train children. I’ve always intended to see our footballers play a good football someday.”

This project will be lengthened as it takes months to give basic/foundation football skills for the players.
