Maccabi Tel Aviv’s Sports Science Department and the Wingate Institute for Physical Education and Sports introduced a brand new course that got underway this past Friday dealing with Training Principles in Modern Football. The course, which will include 60 hours over 12 meetings, took place at the Kiryat Shalom Training Facility. Lecturers will include Dr. Antonio Dello Iacono, Course Coordinator, the Youth Department’s Performance Director Patrick van Leeuwen, Raymond Atteveld and other coaches from the department.
Patrick van Leeuwen and Dr. Iacono conducted the first lesson which was a smashing success due to the amount of registrants, in terms of interest and the positive feedback received by the organizers. The opening class was used to familiarize the participants with the content that will be covered throughout the 60 hours while van Leeuwen also touched on the Academy structure and training principles. Dello Iacono discussed football terminology and how to use Sports Science in the field today.
The second class will take place this coming Friday between 09:30-14:30. Raymond Atteveld and other coaches from the Youth Department will join van Leeuwen and Dr. Dello Iacono over the duration of the classes.
