Reporter Liu Xiangyu reported that Kunming in December is still warm as spring, and the unique geographical and climatic conditions allow here to move in all four seasons, which is a happy thing for the children of Kunming.
At No. 245 Shark Fin Road, Xishan District, Kunming City, surrounded by several towering buildings of Yuntou Group, an inconspicuous primary school is located in it, and the primary school has only one and a half-enclosed teaching building, with playgrounds in front and back, and a futsal field on the side. At the entrance of the school, there are several large characters written "Xiyuan Branch of Shulin Second Primary School in Xishan District, Kunming City".
Every 10:00 a.m., all the children will gather in the playground to play large recess sports, in addition to the regular broadcast gymnastics, the children can also carry out different sports, some stilts, some play basketball, and some team up to play dryland dragon boats. These extracurricular sports also reflect the characteristics of many ethnic minorities in Yunnan. But the school's most "thriving" sport is still football.
When it comes to campus football, Shulin No. 2 Primary School is famous in Kunming. This school has always been characterized by football and is the signature of campus football in Kunming and even in the whole of Yunnan.
The Shulin No.2 Primary School is also in Xishan District, and they are the first primary school in Kunming to carry out football sports. Founded in 1984, the Shulin No.2 Football Team was first organized by a physical education teacher who loved football, and each principal was very supportive of the school's football campaign, so that the football tradition of Shulin No.2 Primary School has been continued to this day.
Shulin Erxiao has won the Kunming Campus Football Championship many times, and the most brilliant moment is that after winning the Kunming Championship with a total victory in 2014, he represented Yunnan Province in the southwest regional finals of campus football, and then entered Beijing as a champion and came to the Bird's Nest. On the stage of the National Youth Campus Football Finals, Shulin No. 2 Primary School finally won the second prize in the primary school group.
From Shulin Second Elementary School, there are many football talents, including Zhao Yuhao, who has been selected for the National Olympic Games and is now playing in Longmen, Songshan, Henan, Zou Yucheng and Zhang Zhenyu, who have been selected for the National Youth League, as well as Lu Shuai, Zhao Yunshengqin, Lu Rongkai and other young players who are developing towards the professional stage.
"The 93 children are having a hard time finding opponents in Kunming or even Yunnan." Ai Keke, vice principal of Shulin Second Primary School, introduced that after the shulin second primary football gradually became famous, the children who wanted to play football in Kunming at that time wanted to come to Shulin Second Primary School, which ensured the advantage of the student source. In addition, Shulin No. 2 Primary School has been hiring high-level football coaches and using professional team coaches to bring primary school children.
"The only restriction at that time was that the school had no courts, only playgrounds, and the area was the size of a basketball court and a half. However, at that time, parents were really supportive of their children playing football. Echo said that after school, the children went to Haigeng to train, some parents were responsible for picking up and dropping off, and some were responsible for delivering meals.
The football tradition of Shulin No.2 Primary School is continuing, but now the school department no longer has an advantage, and the Xiyuan Branch School, which is also in the Shulin No.2 Primary School, has become a rising star and is now the leader of Kunming campus football. Founded in 2014, Shulin No.2 Xiaoxiyuan Branch was formed by the teaching team of the original Shulin No.2 Elementary School, and the current general affairs director of the school, He Ruchang, came from the general school department.
Around 2015, the rise of campus football across the country, Kunming and even the whole of Yunnan began to grasp campus football. A hundred flowers are competing, and the second small school of the book forest is no longer a single branch. As a newly established Xiyuan Campus, there is no advantage.
"We are a new campus and can only enroll students from the first grade, and in 2014, we only had four classes in the first grade." He Ruchang introduced. Although there are few people, the football tradition of Shulin II has not been lost here. Xiyuan Branch has set up a football team since 2014, and children have signed up voluntarily and the school has been selected.
There are few children, the selection of materials is narrow, the source of students has no advantage, the school is trying to find a way in terms of teachers, at this time, they introduced Kunming Hengshuo Football Club (formerly Kunming Yingbei Football Club). Hengshuo Club currently has 9 coaches, Yunnan football star Zhang Biao as honorary chairman and technical adviser, Yunnan football leader Sun Yi mainly organizes work, is the only youth club in Kunming with U17 to U12 echelons below and can guarantee excellent rankings, with a perfect system, mainly serving Shulin Er Xiaoxiyuan Branch.
Born in 1985, Sun Yi is currently an A-level coach of the AFC, who has led the Yunnan and Shanghai National Games teams, coached in Hangzhou Greentown, Yunnan Marriott and Lijiang Feihu, and is a member of the 93 and 95 National Youth and National Youth Coaching Team and foreign teacher translator. Although he has a long list of prominent resumes, Sun Yi's only identity now is the head coach of the 11/12 age group of Hengshuo Club, and the "Sun Director" in the mouth of Shulin's second child.
School football has now shifted from popularity to improvement. In the case of gradual solution of hardware problems, the software needs to be improved urgently, especially the level of coaches. The level of campus football coaches is uneven, some are of high level, but they cannot teach children, and some are aware of education, but football theory is lacking. The gap in coaches has been highlighted, and a young high-level coach like Sun Yi sinking the grassroots is the most effective way to solve the problem.
Friends around Sun Yi all feel that with his resume, teaching in primary schools is indeed too much to use. But Sun Yi likes the current state, "how to communicate with children, I will not be in the past, I am also groping, this is also a process of learning and improving." ”。 Sun Yi began to study more about how campus football should be carried out, "More importantly, children are a blank piece of paper, watching them grow little by little, there will indeed be a sense of accomplishment, this sense of accomplishment is different from leading a professional team." ”
Sun Yi now personally substitutes classes every Monday to Friday, and under his guidance, the results of Shulin No.2 Xiaoxiyuan Branch have improved by leaps and bounds.
Since 2014, the first batch of first-grade children have enrolled, and there are currently 1,071 students in grades one to six at Xiyuan Campus. The football team has been making a name for itself in Kunming since 2019. "We are all selected from among students, from the first and second grades with only a few people, to the current fourth grade may have up to 40 people on the school team." Sun Yi said that now one in five children in the school is involved in football.
In addition to the soccer lessons in the normal PE class, teams of all grades carry out soccer training every day after school, and each team is basically guaranteed to train three times a week. Long training can make children boring, so Sun Yi asked all coaches to arrange games for children as much as possible, and now almost every weekend, school teams of different ages are outside to participate in competitions.
The school is very supportive of the development of school football, Shulin No. 2 Xiaoxiyuan Branch school has a futsal field (next January will also transform a playground into an eight-a-side football field), the field is equipped with cameras, parents can see the training, game screens in real time, and can analyze everyone's situation through editing.
In addition, there is a multi-functional locker room on the side of the court, on the one hand, students can change their equipment before training, and it is also a trophy showroom and a football theory teaching classroom, and the coach often shows the children back to the video and analyzes the video. The football team is equipped with a locker room in the school, which is also unique among all primary schools in Kunming.
Sun Yi also applied what he learned in the AFC coach training class to the primary school campus, and the most typical innovation was the yoga class. "While training at AFC, I recognized the importance of yoga classes. Maybe in our usual conception, flexibility and explosiveness are contrary to each other, in fact, can be developed simultaneously, you can look at those high-level athletes, their flexibility is also very good. ”
Since the beginning of last semester, the football team of Shulin No.2 Xiaoxiyuan Branch has begun yoga classes, the school has equipped students with yoga mats, arranged yoga teachers, guaranteed one session per week, arranged in after school football training, children like it, parents are also very supportive.
Scientific training, perfect management, and the support of the school have made the football of Shulin No.2 Xiaoxiyuan Branch rise rapidly. "In the province, the competition is graded, and we won the grade championship very early. The city competition is only for the elementary school group, regardless of grade. Since 2019, we have won the Kunming City Championship. He Ruchang said that at that time, they used the fourth and fifth grade students to fight the other sixth grade team, and they could still win the championship with a small hit.
He Ruchang is also very obsessed with football, he is a fan, his child is currently in the Xiyuan campus team, every afternoon, he will help the school team to cheer up the football, pack equipment, prepare for the day's training.
With the development of football in the entire Yunnan campus, Shulin No. 2 Primary School has also received challenges from all sides, and they have also felt the pressure, and the hundred flowers are a good thing in their view, but there are also practical problems. "Taking Kunming as an example, campus football is now developing well in the primary school stage, and many schools attach importance to it, but at the middle school stage, due to the response to the middle school and college entrance examinations, the emphasis on football has declined." He Ruchang said that some good seedlings will give up football because of this, and some people who want to continue to take the road of football will choose to go to other places, so Yunnan football talents are constantly losing.
Hengshuo Club is also trying to solve the problem, and now every weekend they will give football training to some middle school students, these students are graduated from Shulin No. 2 Primary School, are members of the former varsity team, after middle school, they have no way to ensure high-quality training, so every weekend they will return to Shulin No. 2 Primary School to continue their football dreams.
"There are a lot of children in Yunnan who love to play football and have a talent for football, and I feel differently every time I go to a place." Sun Yi is now often invited to other parts of Yunnan to give lectures to local coaches, in his view, Yunnan is a reserve base for Chinese football talents, the climate and humanities here are very suitable for football, "the campus is the foundation, while opening up the upstream and downstream, more football people need to devote themselves to it." ”
