like all of the ‘Evo Minis', they never stop learning. Evolution Sport Qatar is continually improving and updating their sessions, based on feedback and input from parents, as well as a network of sports coaches both locally and overseas. One of the most recent developments has been the introduction of the Mini Reward Scheme which encourages youngsters to take responsibility for their own learning. Weekly targets are discussed with each team before players are asked to select one they’d like to achieve. Targets are based on the following topics: listening skills, ball control, passing, dribbling, scoring, social skills and game understanding. Stickers are used to track completion of each learning objective, which are in turn used to inform detailed term reports for each player.

It means coaching in a fun, pressure-free environment, giving players a positive introduction to sport as a whole so they’re more likely to stay healthy and active throughout their lives.
Second, they believe that sport can be educational. Coached in the right way it can stimulate imagination and aid early development skills such as learning colours and numbers, following instructions, and playing as part of a team. It’s an approach that has helped Evolution Sports expand greatly since launching in Qatar in 2007, and
