This was followed by another training session with the Xiangshan Primary School and a game of two selected teams from Futian Primary School, which allowed Peter Schreiner to get an overall image of the performance level of the participating children.

Level of soccer education in Yiwu

Apart from giving seminar, Peter Schreiner had the chance to inform himself about the current coaching level at Yiwu schools. Considering the fact that in Chinese schools a classroom can easily have 50 kids, Peter Schreiner focussed on showing effective exercises that can be taught on a relatively small space.
