The Infrastructure and Development Departments of PAOK FC, their general manager Vangelis Pourliotopoulos and technical director Vassilis Mittas, under the auspices of the Hellenic Football Federation (EPO), invite representatives of all amateur clubs and all private football academies to a training workshop on the topic of «Football Planning and Training for Ages 8-12». The particularly interesting workshop will take place on Sunday, March 2, 2025, at the Toumba Cultural Center amphitheater (arrival time 15:30).

• Each club and academy can be represented by up to two people.

Technical director Vasilis Mittas will analyze the plan for the creation of training centers in Thessaloniki, in the form that they operate in the province. The goal is to select a small number of players in the ages of U-11, U-10, U-19 from eastern Thessaloniki, respectively from the west, who – always in collaboration with private academies – will train once a week at the PAOK Academy until the age of U12, so that they can smoothly and gradually integrate into PAOK.

Professor of TEFAA of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Giannis Michailides, will analyze the issue of speed in developmental ages, the technical director of the U7 & U-8 to U-12 sections of the PAOK Academy, Andreas Balabanis, will present PAOK’s annual planning with regard to the specific age groups, and one of the PAOK U-12 coaches, Grigoris Tzelis, will analyze individual tactics and 1vs1 in the ages from U-10 to U-12. Regarding goalkeepers, the PAOK B goalkeeper coach and PAOK Academy goalkeeper training and supervision coordinator, Dimitris Kryonas, will analyze the holistic training methodology.
