More Chinese youngsters look set to benefit from Dutch soccer's renowned youth program, which has produced an abundant supply of top players for clubs worldwide.


The ball was set rolling at Beijing Sangao Football Training Center on Wednesday when Jan Olde Riekerink and Edmond Claus, two former coaches at legendary Dutch club Ajax, held a training session with 44 players from primary and secondary schools.


Riekerink, the former mentor of star Dutch national players Wesley Sneijder and Arjen Robben Cheap Alessandro Guarnone Jersey , demonstrated the drills and tactics that he used to train the star duo when they began their careers at the Ajax youth camp in the 1990s.


The 90-minute session resulted from a joint proposal by President Xi Jinping and retired Dutch national goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar to strengthen youth training exchanges. The proposal was made during Xi's visit to the Netherlands in March last year.


Xi, an avid soccer fan, called a top-level government meeting in February to discuss and approve a national soccer reform plan.


Riekerink, who worked at Ajax as a youth coach from 1995 to 2002, said, ""I am always impressed by the attention that people have for youth education in China.


""I think you should be very happy and proud that your president supports youth football Wholesale AC Milan FC Jerseys , but the people on the pitch helping children have to learn how to carry this out.""


Riekerink's training session provided Chinese physical education teachers with valuable experience.
