The master class lasted more than an hour. Young footballers zealously did exercises, played on technique, held two-sided games and even performed some serious tactical tasks, as in adult football. In short, everyone received a positive charge from the master class - both children and coaches, because classes at the FFU Children's Football Academy are aimed only at the positive, the development of children's abilities and the promotion of football.
