On July 6-7 the South Valley Chivas Academy coaching staff had the opportunity to attend Dutch team’s AJAX Director Of Coaching and Youth Curriculum Courses put on by the Nor Cal Premier.

Course instructors were current AJAX Youth Techincal Director Patrick Ladru and M’Hamed El Ouassaidi “Hemmet”. Both Patrick and Hemmet were asked by Johan Cruyff to be apart of the Chivas Guadalajara sports projected which happened in 2012. Being that our academy is part of the Chivas Guadalajara academy system we shared a number of antecdotes with Patrick and Hemmet which were shared to us about them during our annual Chivas Academy seminars.
