A primary school runs a super league with 28 teams： the hope of campus football from these details

　　Xinhua News Agency, Wuhan, March 30th (Reporter Zhao Jiantong, Liao Jun, Xiong Qi) When it comes to the football super league, what most fans can think of is "Premier League", "Portuguese Super League" or "Super League". However, last Sunday, a primary school in Wuhan started a "Wan Chao" league with 28 teams. Ten rounds of matches will be held every week until the end of the semester.

　　Wansongyuan Road Primary School has a long history of developing campus football, and has trained athletes such as Tu Shengqiao, Hao Junmin and Hanlin Yao. In the 2022 China Youth Football League, "Wanxiao" participated in six groups in Wuhan Division and won the championship and runner-up in four groups. Xinhua News Agency reporters found some unique details after attending the opening ceremony of the "Wan Chao" League in the new semester and observing many games, which may provide a glimpse of the school’s many successful experiences in campus football.

　　A 61-page order book

　　After the opening ceremony of the league, the game began. The rapid transition from the ceremony venue to the football field, from the coach leading the students to warm up before the game to the skilled referee, from the ambulances and medical staff prepared on the sidelines to the guzheng performance performed by the middle school students, the orderly and orderly organization and implementation of the professional "Wan Chao" League is impressive.

　　When turning over the 61-page "Wan Chao" League Order Book containing 14 major items, everything seems to have an answer. Among them, the rules, schedules and other provisions have extremely detailed provisions on the division of activities, competition processes and award selection rules, and the professional level is almost comparable to that of professional competitions.

　　"Wan Chao" League also has some special settings. For example, students must have excellent cultural achievements to participate in the competition, talent shows should be interspersed at halftime, scores should be scored on and off the field according to age and formation, and the code of conduct that requires coaches to understand the advanced techniques and tactics of world football should be detailed.

　　Principal Xiong Liping introduced that this year, "Wan Chao" was upgraded from a campus football event to a mass sports compound event in Jianghan District. Six young teams and four adult teams were invited to join the league.

　　Among the four adult teams, there are three teams composed of hospital, bank employees and nearby residents, and one is the school coach team. In the competition system, the teams of Grade 5 and Grade 6 of Wanxiao were grouped into adult groups and will compete with four adult teams. In addition, this arrangement of "playing big with small" also implies the coach team’s deeper thinking about youth football.

　　Coach Deng Shijun said that this competition system is actually to provide a high-intensity competition environment for small players. "Football is not only a technical and tactical issue, but also involves psychological and social aspects. There was a child in the game just now. He was out of balance when confronted with strong confrontation. I think this is also a place where many children need to improve. "

　　Professional coach of Rooted Primary School

　　Deng Shijun, 51, is known as the "father of grass-roots football" in Wu Hanyou. He is the only primary school teacher in China who has obtained the qualification of AFC lecturer and AFC professional football coach, and is also the head of the coaching team for organizing the "Wan Chao" League.

　　According to the data of China Football Association, at present, only over 100 people in China hold professional-level coaching certificates. Although qualified to coach top professional clubs, Deng Shijun resolutely chose to take root in campus football and devoted himself to educating people for nearly 30 years.

　　"After playing the game every weekend, all the game materials will be copied back by the coach for analysis. On Monday, the coach will conduct a collective analysis meeting to guide the training content of this week."

　　"In fact, it lies in being serious or not," coach Deng summed up the uniqueness of "Wanxiao" in playing football. "I have always said that we should wait for the flowers to bloom. Only by paying a lot can we bring out the fine products. Make the grassroots solid, 10 years, 20 years, like Yugong Yishan, take your time. "

　　The "Wanxiao" coaching team currently has 10 full-time coaches. Most of these coaches have professional athletes’ experience, and all of them hold AFC C-level and above coaching qualification certificates. Coach Deng introduced that through the government’s purchase of services, the school introduced full-time coaches, which not only solved the work treatment problem of retired players, but also improved the professional level of campus football.

　　Change venues three times a day.

　　Every Sunday from morning till night, there are 28 teams, which are divided into children’s groups, senior and junior groups and adult groups. During the "Wan Chao" League, the school used an eight-person court to the extreme. After a game between senior and adult teams, the coaches quickly cut the whole field into three pieces with fences, and the six teams participating in the five-a-side competition immediately began to warm up. According to a coach, the venue will also be divided into six blocks for the follow-up three-person competition for children.

　　The fence on the site is actually a common "water horse" on the highway. After years of exploration, coaches found that this kind of tied "water horse" is better than ordinary mobile football purse seine — — It is convenient to carry, will not be knocked over or blown down by the wind, and can also bounce the ball to keep the rhythm of the game continuous.

　　Relying on the class form of group rotation and efficient use of the venue, "Wanxiao" meets the needs of more than 1,000 students in the whole school to have a football class once a week and more than 10 teams to carry out "four practices and one game" on an eight-person venue.

　　"Our venue will be repaired in July and August this year, and the venue will be widened." Deng Shijun said that after the venue upgrade, he hoped to make the "Wan Chao" League bigger and stronger.

　　Parents inside and outside the fence

　　Before the opening match of "Wan Chao" League, parents were already standing outside the wall on the street side of the stadium to watch the game, and the trail over 100 meters was crowded.

　　In fact, there are many parents in the crowd near the site within the fence. Zhang Zhihui is the father of a fifth-grade student, Zhang Mulang. He and several teammates’ parents volunteered at the league. These parents and volunteers are divided into different roles, some as photographers to take pictures and record videos for children, some as teaching assistants to help coaches lead the competition, and some on the sidelines to do some equipment and water delivery.

　　Wang Lingjie, the teaching director, said: "Parents have now formed a tacit understanding with the school. They know how to help coaches and teachers make up for their places. This is also a good process for parents to participate in the growth of their children. "

　　Deng Shijun said that with the support of the district government and other sectors of society, students don’t have to pay for "ten thousand small" training and competitions, and they can also receive free football equipment, so the burden on parents is reduced a lot.

　　According to the coaches, with the holding of the "Wan Chao" League, parents who used to take their children to play in off-campus training institutions on weekends now mostly let their children play in school.
