Germiston City Football Club recently opened the doors to their football academy.<\/p>\n
The academy was opened after the club\u2019s head coach Sreten Pavlovic noticed a gap in the basic skills of the footballers he trains.<\/p>
\u201cI have been coaching seniors for five years and continue to see players with little or no basic skills,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo this end, I have decided to start an academy for young children.\u201d<\/p>
The academy, which is based at Germiston City Sports Club, is open to boys from six years old to 11 years old.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe academy is growing with every practice and I am satisfied with the progress so far,\u201d said Pavlovic.<\/p>\n
Practices are held on Saturday and Sunday mornings between 8am and 10am.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe still have room for a few more children,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
