Minigoals Football Academy has joined forces with Arsenal Football Club to launch Nicosia's Arsenal Soccer School. Children now have the opportunity to learn how to "Play the Arsenal Way" whatever team they support. The Arsenal Soccer School in Nicosia is based at Keravnos, Strovolos. Its aim is to help youngsters play, socialize and learn the secrets of football, show their talent and learn more about professional football.
Minigoals Football Academy was created in 2005 to provide football classes to pre-school children in the capital. The Academy has been very well received particularly because of its exceptional coaching staff UEFA Licenced Ara Bedrossian and George Kyprianou. Carried out in English and Greek, coaching sessions are insightful and enjoyable, focusing on player development. Catering for boys and girls aged 4 to 15, the registration fee includes accident insurance coverage and an exclusive Arsenal Soccer Schools Kit.
Children will be given the chance to represent Cyprus in the Arsenal International Football Festival in London, along with a tour of the Emirates Stadium and tickets for an Arsenal match. Young players will also have the opportunity to put their new skills into action during regular tournament with the other Arsenal Soccer Schools in Cyprus (Limassol, Paphos, Polis, Larnaca).
