The recent webinar surrounding the training and development of footballers with cerebral palsy is being lauded a success, with over 200 participants attending across both sessions.
The webinar was led by Prof. Osvaldo Hernandez, IFCPF's Americas representative of the Technical Committee, and Lic. Marcelo Sanchez, the Technical Director of Argentina's men's national team.
It ran across two weeks starting on July 30 and concluding on August 5, with both sessions running virtually over Google Meet.
A report from Prof. Osvaldo Hernandez is included below:
In our Fourth Seminar, we talked about the training and development of soccer players with Cerebral Palsy.
It is worth noting that the meeting lasted 100 minutes (Part 1) and 115 minutes (Part 2). We had a total of 211 people registered from 20 countries and even some from other regions, of which an average of 97 participants attended the Seminar.
At the end of the event, Marcelo and I answered the questions of the participants through the chat. They were very happy with the talk, with words of gratitude and also asking for more seminars.
They have truly felt supported by our Federation again.
The countries that registered were Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Italy, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru, Sudan, Spain, Venezuela, USA and Uruguay.
Finally, I want to tell you that new countries have joined the Seminars thanks to the support of the Paralympic Committee of the Americas: Bolivia, Honduras, Costa Rica and Sudan.
Sincerely,
Osvaldo Jorge Hernaฬndez
