2008 Spring Soccer Development Program
Sports Beijing "CAPRI-SUN" Dragons Football ClubThe Sports Beijing "CAPRI- SUN" Dragons Football Club is for players who are keen to play additional soccer at a higher level of competition. In this development program, qualified coaches select the players for each team following competitive tryouts at the beginning of the season. In the tryouts players will be assessed based on individual and team skills, attitude and development potential. Preference for selection to the development teams will be given to players who participate in the Sports Beijing Youth Soccer League. There are four Dragons FC programmes (Mini / Mighty / Junior and Senior) divided by age group. Each programme may have multiple teams comprising 10 to 14 players and meet twice each week, on one evening after school and then on the weekend for training sessions and matches. Dragons teams play competitive matches against other local Chinese teams, Schools and football clubs from the international community. Last year our teams also participated in several tournaments in Shanghai, competing against clubs from China, Germany, Malaysia, Taiwan, Korea, Thailand and Hong Kong. Please note that this is a competitive program and some players may not be selected for the final the team. Players that do not make the team are encouraged to continue to play in the Youth Soccer League. SBJ Dragons FC area always seeking new fixtures across all age groups. Please contact Darrell Barnes at sportsbj_darrell@yahoo.com for further information.
