WELCOME TO THE
SUMMER TERM 2009

Dear Parents, Guardians and Students,

Welcome to the new fantastic Summer Term Programme 2009 of Play Sport Coaching Ltd. This term we are looking to improve our already fun, successful and well established sports programme aimed at giving children more chance to become involved in sports or indeed improve the skills they have already achieved. To help us achieve the standards you expect from Play Sport we are pleased to introduce two new coaching professionals to our team:
Louise Livesey, Joe's sister who has just completed seven years service in the British Army. In that time she represented the armed forces in various sports including; netball, swimming, athletics and girls football. In Louise's last year of service she gained coaching qualifications in a range of sports including; football, volleyball, trampolining, basketball, swimming and specializes in coaching netball. Louise is also qualified in the fundamentals of movement. She will offer lots of variety and enthusiasm to all our sports programmes.

Ian Graham, who is a qualified F.A coach from England has over 16 years experience coaching both boys and girls up to the age of 16 years at Sheffield Wednesday Football Club (English championship club). There he has helped develop the football skills and mental attitude of hundreds of young players, some who have gone on to earn lucrative contracts with professional clubs throughout the UK. Ian brings motivation to the game of football, with only one thing in mind, success!!

We are pleased to continue our fantastic soccer programme for boys and girls of all ages and abilities with classes held every day Monday to Sunday. Children can start from the age of 2 years on the exciting and very popular soccertots programme, and progress through to the more multi-level, technically advanced, and new elite programmes for children aged 6-16 years. We will also be running morning mini-sports, mini-tennis and soccertots classes for children aged 2-5 years.

As always we aim to ensure that all our classes are as fun and interactive as possible – Play Sport for fun! However, although enjoyment is essential we believe that the most important issue involved in children's sports coaching is to ensure that the classes are as safe and effective as possible. Therefore, in all our sessions safety always comes first!! As the director of the company I am a highly qualified sports coach with over 15 years coaching experience in both Hong Kong and the UK. I ensure that all our coaches are suitably qualified and use appropriate teaching methods and techniques specified by sports governing bodies.

Although all sessions will be taught in English, non-native English speakers can fully participate in all classes. Therefore, this is also an excellent opportunity for children to develop their English in a fun and relaxed atmosphere away from the classroom.

If you have any queries please contact me either at the office on: 2818 9453 or on my mobile (Joe: 98609355)

Yours in sport,
