“My son, who is turning 5 this month has been attending classes at EFS for about six months now. There are several positives that I saw in the school but I specially appreciate their emphasis on inclusion. Since students come from different age groups and with varying skill levels, it is important that coaches try to make the training well-balanced by not letting anyone get left behind while helping students improve according to their potentials. Better understanding of spacing, field awareness, and teamwork are given more focus than developing physical strength and individual skills. Particularly, older players are taught to be aware and considerate to the younger ones. This simple instruction, other than its aim in promoting safety, would instil in students the values of sportsmanship and, above all, would teach them how to be responsible and sensitive to others, valuable traits that they can carry even beyond the playing field.”
