Momentum Sports Consulting is one of Wellington Tianjin’s main vendors. The company not only manage the whole Academy Programme in school, it also offers a variety of sports like basketball, football, gymnastics, etc. Momentum is currently working with several schools in Tianjin and Beijing providing sport courses and activity management.

Our football academy’s classes are being led by foreign coaches with years of experience teaching football to children in China and abroad. The coaches will teach in English, but also master basic Chinese. We genuinely believe that our fun exercises and exciting games are the best way for the little football players to improve their skills like dribbling, passing, ball control, cutting/turning, etc., while enjoying the training.

Football is a team sport and in the Wellington football academy courses, we put an emphasize on teamwork. Children will have to work in smaller groups and teams. We highly value that children show respect to their opponents, teammates and referee, no matter the score and result.

5-8 / 6-8 years – We start with the basics of football; many games to enable the children to handle a ball with their feet; stop/go, turning and simple passes.

8-10 years – Now that the players have the basic skills to play football, we focus more on match situations. This means that we have many exercises where defending/passing your man, 1 on 1’s are very important. Some tricks from famous football players are being taught as tools to use during man to man situations.

10-12 years – In this age group ‘real’ football tactics are being introduced. Position games are becoming increasingly important and the players will find themselves more and more in match situation. Still, fun continues to be key for this age group.
