The first adolescent football camp in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region recently opened in Baotou.
This football training camp is a strategic partner of Baotou education bureau’s campus football initiative. The training camp will enroll students older than 6-year-old throughout the city. A "pyramid" selection model was applied to pick talented students from kindergartens, primary, middle and high schools.
Moreover, the camp has taken a barter-like operation model in its daily operation: the camp’s professional coaches will train the schools' football teams for free, in exchange the camp can use schools playgrounds for training during the weekends and holidays.
